Tag Rugby Competition

This week a squad of 12 took part in the Tag Rugby Festival at Woodnook.Will Pert accompanied the children along with Mrs.Millar ( unfortunately I had to stay for Parents Evening).
12 children with4 girls- 2 had to be on the pitch at all times and we had 4 good players to rotate and use.

Usually we start poorly and get better but this time 4 straight wins putting us in the semi finals.

10 of our squad -2 had to leave early as the festival went on until after 5 o'clock.

A fabulous result.

Thanks Will for great coaching and preparing our team.

Our team displayed excellent team work as well as showing respect for the umpires. (Mrs.Millar and parents told me this and that makes me very happy.)

Thank you parents for transporting, supporting and staying and helping well after the due finish time.
