KCS Wimbledon are U-18 team of the month

Last updated at 10:51 07 February 2008

KCS Wimbledon, who have put out Whitgift and Campion in the past two rounds, are January's U18 team of the month, a reward for reaching the quarter-finals for the second successive season under coach Marcus Blackburn.

"It's the perfect boost ahead of Wednesday's quarter-final away against champions Warwick," said Blackburn.

KCS, a one-term rugby school, have put themselves on the map in the past couple of seasons and the win against Campion showed they can now compete with the big boys in the big games.

KCS: Back Row (standing left to right): S. Rhodes, H. Davies, W. Slater, B. Elder, S. Kazerani, S. Sexton, H. Edwards, A. Sanders, A. Laffey, A. Wilson, J. Mason, C. Attoe, J. Paul. Front Row (kneeling left to right): W. Middlehurst, G. Stoppani, T. Spencer, C. Ellis, G.Tyler, L. Mather, B. Booker, J. Burke, P. Phipps, R. Jones

They head for Warwick as underdogs, hoping for stellar performances from captain and centre Guy Tyler, focal point of many of their attacks, and winger Gareth Stoppani - 11 tries this season, and the man who keeps the scoreboard ticking over with his boot. The convert from soccer has put over 27 penalties and 23 conversions this season.
