Tag Rugby

16 Jun Tag Rugby

An enthusiastic bunch of Year 7 and 8 girls attended a 6 a side Tag Rugby Festival at Barking RFC on Wednesday 15^th June 2016.  We managed to field three teams who competed in a tournament against All Saints, Sydney Russell, Dagenham Park, West Hatch, Hall Mead, Warren, Eastlea and Greensward Schools.  There were some fantastic individual performances and some great tries were scored on the day.  We are still awaiting the final results.  However, Mr Kersey informs me that we won more than we lost!  The tournament was organised by the RFU to promote the core rugby values of teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline & sportsmanship and I am proud to announce that we were awarded the ‘Sportsmanship’ trophy on the day.

Well done to all the girls who took part and hopefully this will encourage more girls to try out rugby on Mondays after school or at Barking RFC on Monday evenings from 7pm-8pm.

Thanks again to Mr Kersey and Keith (Rugby Coach) for supporting this event.
