Wimborne RFC hosted a brilliant festival in which children initially played Tag Rugby matches before learning the basics of tackling with qualified coaches. This culminated in some contact rugby matches towards the end. Although not deemed “competitive” due to RFU rules, the tag matches were all evenly contested, with Longfleet remaining unbeaten throughout. After a welcome hot dog and drink in the clubhouse after the festival, medals were given out to those children who showed the core values associated with Rugby. The winners were:
- Phoebe Haigh
- Digby Skinner
- Alfie Partridge
Longfleet travelled to St Edward’s School to participate in a multi-skills event with 5 other local schools. The activities included basketball dribbling; aiming at cricket stumps; football dribbling; netball shooting and tennis games. All of these were played in a great spirit, with the St Edward’s Sports Leaders showing a fantastic example to our children. Although not deemed competitive...Longfleet managed to pull off a victory with a mammoth 480 points. Well done to all the children involved.
