The School Challenge cup tournament features the country’s best young talent, pitting the top eight schools at U19 level against each other in a straight knockout tournament.

This will be the cup’s first hosting since 2019; the 2020 edition cancelled due to the pandemic, and Guildford High School come into the competition as the reigning champions after defeating the 2018 winners Berkhamsted 10-5 in the final.

Both teams will be at the tournament once again alongside Benenden, Caterham, Downe House, St Catherine’s, St Mary’s Calne, and Wycombe Abbey.

Fixtures get underway from 10.30am with the quarter-finals, before the final takes place scheduled for 4pm.
