East Staffordshire Schools Girls U15's Touch Rugby Tournament

 

Tuesday 18th October saw Burton RFC hosting the first Girls U15Touch Rugby Tournament, with Paget High School, Deferrer's High School, Abbot Beyne High School and John Taylor High School all bringing teams to the event which resulted in over 50 girls present.

 

The event was held on the Peel Croft, with Deferrer's High School winning the cup which presented by England’s Emily Scarratt.

 

The event was due to be the launch of the new U15’s BRFC junior squad, following four months of school curriculum delivery by the RFU and Burton RFC community club coaches. The success of the school programme meant the Sunday morning training sessions started 3 weeks early with 16 girls training the Sunday before the launch day.

 

With such a strong start the focus will continue in East Staffordshire and South Derbyshire schools and will look to increase the age groups catered for to include U13’s and U18’s.
