Tournament day. An early start for the group as the local children were eagerly awaiting our arrival. Twelve teams had been selected from the six community schools we have been coaching during the week. Our students collected the teams and awarded the children their team t-shirts.
The whole tournament was organised and run by the students and the games begun. The standard of play was most impressive with some early favourites showing their skills, all this considering the children had only been introduced to tag rugby at the start of the week.
As the tournament finished the first pool stage, the teams then were competing for the plate, bowl and cup trophies.
In the plate pool, Mercy School won scoring some superb tries. In the bowl pool, Divine School proved too strong and won. In the cup pool and overall winners were Shield Wisdom School showing real strength in depth with their squad and score a number of outstanding tries.
From the teachers point of view, we were all proud of our students and the way in which they have conducted themselves during the week. The local schools and Linda community have benefited from our tour and we have helped to re-establish Joseph Linda School as a high school ready to welcome back their older students.
