Girls Rugby
Anastasia Martin made her referee debut last Friday at the Girls’ NWRYRC Competition. She has strong knowledge of the game and was able to manage the games fairly. A huge congratulations to Anastasia and we look forward to seeing her referee more in the near future.
The Girl’s NWRYRC Competition has been a great opportunity for our girls to showcase their Rugby Union skills and talents. The girls’ have been playing a tens competition this term which is a variant of Rugby Union in which teams are made up of ten players, with much shorter matches, usually played as two, ten-minute halves.
A fun Rugby fact for you - Rugby tens was developed in Malaysia, a nation that has never qualified for the Rugby World Cup!
All players MUST be registered before they take the field. Players who are not registered WILL NOT play. If there are any students who are still interested in playing, please contact Mrs Mellowship-Brown to collect a letter.
