Kings' Worcester take a bow

Several victorious Kings' Worcester players headed home from Hinckley last night to play policemen in their school musical Jack the Ripper.

Not surprising really, since they had their Daily Mail Under 18 Cup fifth-round tie against John Cleveland College under lock and key by half time.

They led 23-8 and eventually won 35-8, with tries from Nick Major, Jamie Gwynn, Pete Winstanley, Tom Muir and Mike Weir.

John Hindley scored a late touchdown as Hymers, Hull, beat King's Tynemouth 17-15 while the excellent St Peter's, Gloucester, won 53-5 against Exeter College.
