Year 5/6 Mixed Tag Rugby Tournament
16 Schools took part in the annual Year 5/6 Mixed Tag Rugby Tournament which was held at Barnsley Rugby Club, Shaw Lane on Wednesday 19th March. Each of the schools who took part in the event had already won or come runner up in their individual family events which had been held during the previous month.
Most schools had recieved coaching from either SportActiv, Barnsley Rugby Club, Sheffield Eagles or Doncaster Lakers and the quality on show at the event provided evidence that these sessions had paid off. The skill level and teamwork on show was excellent and was commented on by the various Rugby Development Officers who were there to support the event.
Schools were split into 4 groups with teams playing each other in the aim of winning their group and progressing through to the semi-finals and final. In the end, the group winners were Richard Newman, Thugoland, Churchfield and Brierley who moved on to the semi finals with both games going to extra time. The final, contested between Churchfield and Thurgoland was also a tightly contested game which went to extra time, with Churchfield finishing as eventual winners. Each of the four semi finalists will now go on to represent Barnsley in the Yorkshire Tag Rugby Final to be held later in the year.
Thanks go to all the Rugby Development Officers and Coaches from League and Union who helped with the pre-event coaching and also the refereeing for the final. Thanks also to Barnsley Rugby Club for providing facilities to stage the event and for helping to organise the afternoon.
