Girls' Tag Rugby Festival
A
fantastic time was had by all at the Salisbury Girls' Tag Rugby Festival on
Thursday 27 March at Salisbury Rugby Club.
For three hours during the
afternoon, 14 teams from 6 local schools competed in the event, organised by
Salisbury District Council with support from the Salisbury and Avon Valley
School Sports Partnerships, Salisbury Rugby Club and Wiltshire and Dorset
RFU.
Taking part were; St Edmunds, South Wilts Grammar School, Trafalgar
School, Avon Valley, Stonehenge and St Joseph's and the girls were from two age
groups, years 7/8 and years 9/10. The festival marked the end of the Districts'
Girls' Tag Rugby League, an ongoing event that most of the schools had been
involved in.
All the girls showed great skill and enthusiasm throughout
the afternoon. In the Year 7/8 event, Trafalgar team finished third, St
Edmund's coming second, and the winners of the festival were South Wilts A
team. |

and Community Officer, Salisbury District Council |
The year 9/10 festival was a close
fought event. South Wilts A finished third, South Wilts B coming second and
Trafalgar becoming proud winners of the festival.
In the year 7/8
league, the top two places were extremely close, with Trafalgar School being
awarded winners of the league, with the player of the league being awarded to
Bryony Yalden from Trafalgar School, who was nominated three out of four
matches.
Trafalgar were also crowned champions of the year 9/10 league,
with players of the league awards given to Hannah Hayward of Trafalgar School,
Katherine Hoare of South Wilts, Callie Chant of Salisbury High and Bey Lam Chan
of St Edmund's all being nominated for two matches.
Karlene Jammeh,
Sports and Community Officer said: "The Tag Rugby programme enables the
girls to gain experience of this sport and develop their skills. The festival
gives them a chance to compete against other schools in the district and
encourages teamwork, skill, fitness and spatial awareness. Most importantly,
the girls can have an afternoon of fun."
"The skill and determination on
display during the festival was absolutely fantastic, resulting in some
extremely close results."

On Friday 27th
June Wyvern College and St Joseph's were lucky enough to have pupils involved
in a Karate taster session. The SSCO (Charlie Sztucki) is keen to develop the
sport in these schools as an after school club for the next academic
year.
