On 27th January, Thetford RFC played host to the Partnership Year 5/6 Tag Rugby finals. The event witnessed 14 teams from across Watton and Thetford playing it out for county final places.
The festival was delivered by Sports Leaders from Rosemary Musker High School who had just completed their Tag Rugby Award and they were supported by referees from Diss RFC.
The day was a great success with teams playing pool matches in the morning, then cup and plate finals in the afternoon. There was even a wooden spoon up for grabs for the bottom finishers!
We were thankfully blessed with kind weather and although it was bitterly cold it only rained at lunchtime . . . the club's hot chocolate saved the day and kept the Teachers' spirits high!!
After a fun filled day of Rugby it was time to announce the winners and most importantly who was going on to represent Breckland at the County finals in March.
In Wooden Spoon position were Admirals Team 2
Plate winners were Carbrooke Team 1
In keeping with the spirit of the day, as the scores were tied at full time, the cup finalists decided to share the cup.
So, in joint first place for the Cup were Ashill and Norwich Road Team 1
Securing the third place at county was Redcastle Team 2
'Player of the Festival' went to Elliot Gibson from Bishops for outstanding sportsmanship and team spirit.
Well done to everyone involved in the event and thankyou to the Club, Coaches, Referees, Sports Leaders and teams for their hard efforts in making the day such a success!!
