Fantastic performance for the both U7's teams who played on Sunday. Each team had four games, where they played great rugby and developed loads within the tournament.

For Henry Middleton it was his first experience of game play, but rose to the challenged along with all of our dedicated players.

Coach Suzanne said "All 9 players did immensely well and worked together well both on and off the pitch. It was therefore a fantastic end to the day to find out not only had we all played, developed and had fun, but we had been recognised by other coaches and officials of having great teamwork, co-operation and team spirit for both ourselves, but also our opponents".

She continues that "Myself, Paul and Dan did get a little nervous as the team went to collect their 'Fair play award'. We knew they could handle a rugby ball, but a glass trophy was really putting their handling skills to the test. I'm really pleased to say, it did make it back!"

A fantastic effort by all 9 players, but the squad also wanted to mention Henry Smith, who was unable to make the festival, but sent his team a huge good luck message
(This just demonstrates the great team ethos we have)

Deon Vlok, ERFC Junior Chair said 'I'm so proud of what the under 7's squad have achieved!' "This is their first season in tag and have shown the great work being done by the coaches in the junior section and how it is continuing to thrive and bring through the good rugby ethic!"

"My thanks go to the coaches and parents who make this happen week in week out!"

Thank you Burton for a great festival!
