Tag Rugby Competition
On Thursday 21st March 2024, a group of Year 6 children went to Great Shelford Rugby Club to participate in a tag rugby tournament against 18 other schools. The tournament was split into a Cup tournament and a Plate tournament and we entered a team into both of these.
In the Plate tournament our team were fantastic. What an enthusiastic, positive group of children. Their energy never faltered and the way they played together and supported each other was lovely. It was a pleasure to watch them improve and progress as the games went on. They won one of their games, drew one and lost two which meant they went through to play for 5th and 6th place. In the playoff they won significantly so came 5th overall.
In the Cup competition, our team won all their games but one. This meant they finished joint top of their group so it had to be decided on try difference as to who went through to the final. Unfortunately, The Vine had two more tries than us so we went through to play for 3rd and 4th place. In the playoff the team were fantastic and won so came 3rd overall. Again, the team were so passionate and positive, and their skill was a joy to watch.
Well done to all the children who took part, you really were a credit to the school and I thoroughly enjoyed taking you to the event. A huge thank you to Miss Kennick, who is one of our trainee teachers, who came to coach the children. She plays rugby so was able to give the teams helpful tips. Thank you to all the parents/carers who transport the children to and from the event. And thank you to Wilf who came as the school mascot for the afternoon.
