Tag Rugby Tournament

On Wednesday 6th March, 11 year 2 children, arrived at Southend Rugby club with a mixture of excitement and some nerves. It was a bright, crisp morning - perfect weather for rugby!

We got off to a great start, with our first game against Earls Hall. We won  5-3 with   2 tries from Imogyn and Zizo and one from Josh.

Our second game was against St Michaels, where we lost 4-0.  This was a much tougher game and although we matched them for pace and speed, we were unable turn this in to tries or stop them scoring.

Our Lady of Lourdes was up next. This was a very close match,  despite Josh and Dahlia scoring tries for us, the result was 3-2 to them.

Unfortunately, this meant we did not qualify for a place in the 'super 4'.

Still in good spirits, we went on to play three ranking matches . We won two 2 of those matches 

2-1  with tries from Kiah and Iyaaz 

5-3  with 3 tries from Zizo & one each from Luna & Dahlia

We lost 5-3 with good tries from Kayden, Imogyn and Dahlia

We are very proud of the team Imogyn, Kiah, Dahlia, Luna, Alby, Josh, Zizo, Iyaaz,Kayden, Ire & Lenny. Everyone worked tirelessly all morning, as well tries, we were busy taggng the other teams. A special mention to Aby as 'top tagger of the day. Everyone supported each other through the morning, both in celebration and through nerves and injury.

A massive thank you to all our supporters, we had a fantastic turn out and it was really appreciated.
