Collyer’s lose their own ‘El Clasico’ basketball derby with Brighton

Sporting contests between two of the country’s top sixth form colleges are sometimes referred to as “El Clasico” derbies.

Collyer’s Director of Admissions, and basketball fan, Richard Rothwell explained: “Our “El Clasico” is a cheeky nod to the Barcelona and Real Madrid basketball and football rivalry in Spain. Some refer to matches between Collyer’s and our friends at BHASVIC as ‘El Clasico’, as these historical sixth form colleges have competed across many sports for a number of years.”
