Year 4 Tag Rugby Festival at Harton – Feb 13th 2014!

Three very excited and talented young tag rugby teams, gleefully travelled to Harton Technology College, at midday on Thursday February 13th. They were kitted out in fantastic new rugby kits which gave the children an extra spring in their step. A big thank you to Lucy Wright’s Grandad Mike for funding the kits for one of the squads. Your kind gesture is very much appreciated.

The tournament was organised in conjunction with Westoe RFC and Newcastle Falcons, who the school are now working very closely with to provide our children with fantastic sporting opportunities. All of the children played superbly and were fantastic to watch. Two of our sides were runners up in their respective groups, just missing out on semi-final places. Nevertheless, our third team captained by Isaac Storey did reach the semi-finals, to cap a great all round performance.

The parental and family support on the day was brilliant as they cheered on their enthusiastic children. Indeed the energy of the children and the great support helped to warm us all up on a bitterly cold February day. A big well done and thank you to everyone who played their part on a great sporting day!

Tag Rugby Regional final at Kingston Park 2013

15th June 2013B McVittie

The Regional final, entitled “Tag2Twickenham” showed the high level of competition involved in this event. The team won two of their four group matches in a superb morning effort. However, this meant the prize of a national final at Twickenham was now beyond the team’s grasp. Nevertheless, the team kept enjoying their rugby in the afternoon group, made some great tags and scored plenty of spectacular tries. It was a lovely moment when the team were recognised  with the “Fair play” award in the final presentation.

Tag Rugby Festival Westoe RFC Oct 19th 2012

31st December 2012B McVittie

Three merry teams consisting of twenty six players walked with a spring in their step to Westoe RFC on a misty October morning. We warmed up enthusiastically as we waited for pool matches to begin. All of our teams performed with great energy and skill in an exciting morning’s rugby. There were tries, double tags, lots of mud and most importantly plenty of smiles  and sportsmanship! Two of our teams reached the champions league pool in the afternoon as we played with such brightnesss that the mist cleared and the sun came out shining! Well done to all the players who gave their all on an enjoyable sporting day where all the teams were encouraged by fantastic family support.
Good luck to the parents cleaning the kits!
