10 children from Year 5 and 6 went to May and Baker RUFC in Dagenham to compete in a tag rugby tournament with 25 other schools. The children played valiantly, displaying all of the core values of rugby including discipline, teamwork and respect. Although our team didn't win the tournament - that title went to Nelmes Primary - we did earn a Respect award from the other coaches and referees. Only one other school in the competition earnt this, so our pupil should be very proud of themselves.
After only three training sessions with Mrs Stephenson, our team played like absolute superstars. A big thank you to the parents who came to support and cheer us on.
