The event provided a platform for schools to compete and celebrate the sport. Amidst fierce competition, St Laurence CE Junior Academy’s teams demonstrated exceptional teamwork, resilience and sportsmanship and parents and supporters turned out in force to cheer on the young athletes,
Mr. Wells said: “The children (showed) fantastic effort and commitment, especially as it was a team that hadn’t played together before. They equipped themselves well and improved massively throughout the festival.
“In the final match, we had a wonderful passage of play that looked very impressive and through determination and resilience we scored a very well deserved try – scored by Riley. A huge congratulation to all the players – some of whom are now very keen to take it up outside of school and attend the TWRFC sessions offered at the weekend and mid-week.”
