Worksop College vs Trent College 1933
Taken from the Worksopian December 1933
The match of the season. Trent held an unbeaten record in all matches since 1931, when the fifteen has beaten them here and had not scored less than 30 points in any school match this year. The team, however, rose to the occasion in a remarkable fashion and all played their best game. It was clear from the start that the Trent backs were fast and clever, A. Obolensky, on the right wing being particularly dangerous, but the School’s forwards were so energetic and the tackling so deadly that they were seldom allowed to get far. In the first few minutes the school pressed hard and J.B. Wentworth-Smith was nearly over. A. Obolensky ran well for Trent but was splendidly tackled by G.H. Stephens on two occasions and Worksop returned to the attack, when F.T. Hopkinson just missed with a drop goal and half-time came with no score. The school pack kept Trent penned in their 25 for the greater part of the second half and after W.R. Andrews had nearly scored, F.T. Hopkinson scored a good try far out. Trent made efforts but R.S. Rennie spear tackled A. Obolensky in great style and a strong run by G.H. Stephens put the school on the attack again. C.W. Walton had a good attempt at a drop but this ended the scoring although the school continued to press, the pace of the Trent backs and S. Harrision’s saving getting them out of some awkward situations.
