Sussex Yazoo Tag Rugby Finals 2010

The 2010 Yazoo County Tag Rugby Finals took place on Wednesday May 25th at Horsham RFC.  There were 17 schools taking part, from across all 9 School Sport Partnerships.  The finals were run by RFU Community Rugby Coaches, supported by volunteers as part of the nationwide V-Rugby project, and referees from across Sussex.
 
Throughout the afternoon the standard of Tag Rugby on show was very high, with all the players showing a superb attitude both on and off the pitch.  The final was a hotly contested match between Silverdale from Hastings, and St. Andrews from Brighton & Hove:  with the score being 2-2 at the end of the match, a period of extra time had to be played, ending with Silverdale scoring a couple of tries to take the trophy with a 4-2 win.
 
The following 8 teams have all qualified to take part in the Regional Yazoo County Finals on June 22nd at Horsham RFC - Silverdale, St. Andrews, East Preston, English Martyrs, Barnham, Stonegate, Holy Trinity, and Balfour.  Good luck to you all!!

On Wednesday May 19th, 2010, West Sussex West School Sport Partnership held their annual Yr 5/6 Tag Rugby Tournament.  This event is the beginning of a National Tag Rugby competition sponsored by ‘Yazoo Milkshakes’ and it was held at Chichester RFC.  Schools from across the SSP took part, refereed by RFU Community Rugby Coaches and students from Chichester University.


After some very entertaining Tag Rugby being played, in what was very hot and sunny weather, St. Richard’s school came out on top, winning the event.  St. Richards’ defence was a key part of their success, only conceding 8 tries all afternoon.  We must wish St.Richards and Barnham Primary School (Runners Up) every success, as they have now qualified through to the Sussex Tag Rugby Finals – Good Luck!!


Finally, there were many future Rugby stars on show during the Tournament, yet special mention must go to Isaac Hughes from St.Richards, as he was named ‘Player of the Tournament’ due to his electric pace and fast footwork.

Crawley Schools Tag Rugby Development Day


On 1st October 2009, Crawley School Sport Partnership and Crawley Rugby Club were joined by 11 Crawley Primary School teams for a Tag Rugby Development Festival at Crawley’s Willoughby Fields Ground.
The sunny day got off to a great start with all of the schools taking part in some expert coaching provided by the high quality coaches that were involved for the day. Students learned skills that were necessary for the game and given advice and tips which helped reinforce the rules of Tag.
After a break for lunch, the competition got underway and the teams were divided to compete in either a year 3/4 or year 5/6 competition. Teams were keen to show off their newly learned skills and games were exciting to watch. Referees did their best to keep games flowing, and the competitions saw a healthy number of tries scored.
The year 3/4 competition was close between the top three teams and Gossops Green A team were pushed into second place by a victorious Our Lady A team. The year 5/6 event was equally as close with three teams on similar points but it was Three Bridges Juniors who clinched the win over Gossops Green A team.
A great day was had by all, with each player who participated being awarded a certificate and goody bag provided by Crawley Rugby Club.
