MEMBERS of CH Rugby and Reading Rugby Club teamed up to deliver a day of rugby activity to schools in the Whitley Excellence Cluster.
Hosted by Geoffrey Field Junior School Reading, children from New Christ Church, Ridgeway Infants & Juniors and Lambs Lane took part in didi rugby for KS1 during the morning and tag rugby for KS2 in the afternoon.
The event was jointly supported by CH Rugby & Reading Rugby Foundation who funded the trophies and medals for the tag rugby sessions in the afternoon.
Stuart Spindler, Chairman of Reading RFC said: “There was some excellent rugby on show, I loved the energy and enthusiasm on the day. So satisfying to hear the very positive feedback all round”.
Dave Marks, Deputy Head Teacher Geoffrey Field Junior School added: “It was an absolutely fantastic day. Both the didi Rugby session for the KS1 pupils and the top notch tournament for the KS2s.
“Lots of the children I spoke to had only ever played rugby in PE lessons and they relished the opportunity to play it competitively”.
Craig Hunter, CH Rugby, said: “It was a real pleasure to be able to deliver rugby sessions to so many children from the WEC community, something we are all keen to do more of.”
