Old Leamingtonians (OL) Rugby Football club held their annual festival for the Mini section on Sunday and would like to thank Kenilworth, Leamington, Old Coventrian and Rugby Lions rugby clubs for fielding teams in age groups under 7 to under 12. Special thanks are for Old Saltleians and Stoke Old Boys rugby clubs for attending at very short notice.
Pictures are now in the picture gallery... Over 450 players took part in the tournament producing very good displays of rugby. The results were assessed by awarding 3 points for a win, 2 points for a draw and 1 point for a loss. The winning clubs in each age group are under 7 – Old Coventrians, Under 8 – OL, under 9 – OL, under 10 – OL, under 11 – Rugby Lions, under 12 – Rugby Lions. The under 8 tournament was a very close competition, there was only 6 points between the top and bottom. The under 9 tournament produced maximum points for the winners. For the under 12 tournament, the top two teams were tied on points, the number of wins, draws and losses were the same. In the end, the under 12 winners were determined on net scores in line with the rules of the competition.
The successful day was achieved by the army of volunteers and parents who were busy beforehand and throughout the day. The car park attendants were playing tricks instead of parking cars – they will not have walkie talkies next year. Hysterical laughter spilled out of the kitchen. The guy with the microphone for the tannoy had to be restrained. A silent thanks from the players to all the helpers. |
