Last week Chinnor RFC hosted a Primary Schools Tag Rugby Festival for local schools in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
Ten schools entered 12 teams and catered for 120 young players aged 9 and 10.
The fine weather added to the enjoyment of the afternoon.
The teams of 7 initially played round robin games in three Pools each with four teams. The teams were then seeded into three further Pools based on the number of wins each team had.
The “Leaders’ Pool” Trophy was won by John Hampden ‘A’ team; the “Runners’ Up Pool” Trophy was won by St Joseph’s R.C. School, Thame, and the “Competitors’ Pool” Trophy was won by St Johns C of E School ‘B’ team from Lacey Green. All players were presented with a Participation Medal in recognition of their efforts and enjoyment.
This event is now likely to become an annual event due to its success, reflected by the smiles of the pupils and their teachers and parents.
