You have to imagine Chester Owen and Simon Koroiyadi will both get contracts. Big lads who both play 6 and 8. The academy hasn’t produced many of those of late.

I went to the Worcester Academy match and was impressed by both players mentioned by LekkerTigers particularly Chester Owen, it was a good game where Tigers came from behind to beat what appeared to be a bigger and older team. Looking forward to finals day, I do enjoy seeing young players showing talent and enthusiasm, it is a good day out if you can make it.

Don't believe so, when they put profiles of this age group on the website (now sadly gone again, in a couple of years the views will change and we'll get them for a few years again) I recall he was local to Leicester and it didn't mention anything like that. Could be wrong and can't check again!

Answering my own question here but guessing as Trentham RUFC in Stoke apointed Apolosi in 2019 & congratulated Maleli in 2021 on Facebook then he is indeed his son.

No his son is to old to be the Joseph Woodward in the academy and I'd assume unless he and his child both started early he's to young to have a 17/18 year old grandson. Sir Clive being 66. So could be possible but I suspect someone would have reported about it.

Thanks Sam you are probably right but it is quite feasible to have a 17 year old grand child at 66

Just adding previous school/home town in case anyone interested.

STARTING XV
15 Ben Taylor - Oakham
14 Malelili Satala - Brooksby Melton College/Trentham RUFC (Stoke)
13 George Loose - Greshams
12 Joseph Woodward (c) - Brooksby Melton College/ King Edwards (Lichfield)
11 Sam Jacques - Brooksby Melton College/ Brookvale Groby
10 Morgan Meredith - Brooksby Melton College/ Sir Graham Balfour (Stafford)
9 Matt Durbridge - Brooksby Melton College/ George Abbott School (Guildford)
1 Tom Wand - Brooksby Melton College/ Spalding Grammar School
2 Max Nolan - Brooksby Melton College/ Rawlett School (Tamworth)
3 Oliver Crane – Oakham/ Dixie Grammar School (Private Market Bosworth)
4 Finn Carnduff - Leicester Grammar
5 Felix Starkey – Oakham (Possibly San Roque Spain?)
6 Simon Koroiyadi - Trent College/ George Spencer Academy (Stapleford)
7 Joshua Manz - Northampton School for Boys
8 Chester Owen - Brooksby Melton College/ Ivanhoe College (Ashby)
REPLACEMENTS
16 Jack Hurst - Brooksby Melton College / King Edwards (Lichfield)
17 Harry Clarke - Denstone College
18 Nathan Hind - Brooksby Melton College/ Samworth Church Academy (Mansfield)
19 Phelton Tandoh – Stamford/Ratcliffe College
20 George Perkins - Denstone College
21 Nicholas Gali - Denstone College
22 Oscar van Deventer - Denstone College
23 Alex Garrett - Denstone College

So Ben Taylor, George Perkins, Harry Clarke & more oddly Nicholas Gali were basically impossible to google. Impossible to narrow anything down to them.

I doubt all those Denstone boys were actually there from 11 or 13 but I couldn't find anything on any of them at all really.
Goooooodeeeeeyyyyy!
