Exeter Chief tells the children "how"!
Exeter
Chiefs ‘Centre’, Mark Fatialofa was invited by the school to watch the last
match of the season: St Peter’s 1st
XV v Norman Court,
from Wiltshire, who had arranged the fixture as part of their Sports Tour.
Whilst St
Peter’s did not manage a win for their special guest, the play was fast and
entertaining. Mark Fatialofa was
delighted to be a guest of the school.
‘This has been a really
great afternoon,’ remarked the Samoan
giant from Wellington, New Zealand. He went on, ‘I started playing rugby at a
very young age, so being amongst so many young enthusiastic kids was a very familiar scene. They’re great boys
and showed tremendous spirit.’
‘It was a
wonderful afternoon for all the children at the school’, commented Rob Williams,
Headmaster. ‘It’s been fantastic to have
Exeter Chiefs come to the school. Mark
Fatialofa even sat with the children at lunch in the Dining Hall. He was very complementary about the quality
of food, but I’m not sure how much he managed to eat – the children were pretty
relentless with their questions and autograph requests! He gave them a lot of time – the children won’t forget this day in a
hurry’.
