Last Thursday our Under 13’s Rugby players went to Highfields for the first of this year’s tournaments.

With half of Year 8 on a trip, and Soccer fixtures for Years 7 and 8 – it was difficult to get a team but we managed to get 8 boys on the Mini-bus.

Our first game was against Deansfield and St. Edmunds dominated possession. Tries from Bill Rowley and Azif Mir gave us a 10-0 lead before a late consolation from Deansfield made the final score 10-5.

Aldersley were a strong second opponent but some excellent tackling kept the score at 0-0 until late in the game. However, the pressure finally told in the last couple of minutes and two tries made the score 10-0 to Aldersley.

As we only had 8, there wasn’t the opportunity for substitutions so St. Edmund’s got to the last game bruised and weary. Overall, a tremendous final effort meant that tries from Connor Heaney and Tom Kosiorek gave us a 10-0 victory.

Two wins out of three was a fine effort and training will now take place every Wednesday lunchtime in preparation for the next tournament.

Well done to;
