Emerging Tag-Rugby Festival basks in Glory

Emerging Tag-Rugby Festival basks in Glory (and sunshine!)

Following the morning’s blizzards and freezing temperatures, the Emerging Tag-Rugby event finished the afternoon amidst glorious sunshine as children from 12 teams (Henry Moore x 2, Saint Nicholas x 2, Cooks Spinney x 2 and

Church Langley x 6) experienced the fast-pace of a Tag-Rugby competition but without the pressure that come with a full-scoring event. Designed to enable a greater range of pupils to take part in competition, the event was hastily switched to Church Langley’s all-weather pitch after the elements had seen Harlow Rugby Club’s surface deemed unplayable. 

The scheduled allowed all the athletes to experience a number of games throughout the afternoon and the standard of play was high, with all of the teams developing their understanding of tactics when defending and attacking, whilst improving their teamwork and communication skills. School Games Organiser, David Stacey, thanked Gill Pardoe and Harry Stacey for officiating throughout the afternoon matches and to the school staff who made the efforts to provide opportunities for their pupils.
