Uplands hosted the annual Derby against Penryn from 30 to 31 May 2008. The Derby coincided with our Founders Day celebrations and the Uplands Festival. We traditionally celebrate this occasion with our friends from Penryn College.

The final Rugby match between the 1st teams of the two schools concluded the celebrations. It was an exciting encounter with both teams prepared to play expansive rugby. Penryn has shown this year that they have a formidable side – they lost only narrowly to St Stithian’s 1st Team a few weeks earlier - which is an indication of their strength. However, the Uplands boys played with an imbedded determination. The half-time score was 12-0 in favour of Penryn. A penalty early in the second half extended the lead to 15-0. Uplands responded soon after that when captain James Rosenfeldt scored a brilliant try. Uplands applied more and more pressure and Charles Siwele scored our second try from a lineout. Neil Brokensha slotted the conversion to make the score 15-12 in favour of Penryn. It was a titanic battle, but Penryn kept their composure in the final minutes to secure victory.
