Southwark Tigers RFC

Southwark Tigers went for the first time to the London Irish Festival at Reddam House School near Reading on Saturday.  We had three squads in action; the U7s, the U8s and the U10s.  The early departure 7.30am was a bit of a shock to the system, but nevertheless we had our new minibus full up and many cars for the trip.  90 minutes later we were in the grounds of a old stately home and surrounded by hundreds of rugby players.

We faced teams that are totally new to use such as Bournemouth and Tadley Tigers.  However, none of the children were at all worried and every team won their opening game.  The success continued, and by the end of the festival we had won 10 matches, drawn 3 and lost 3.  There were no overall winners at the festival, it was about part and following rugby's core values. A wonderful day was had by all.  Well done to all the players, they showed spirit, determination, resilience and enthusiasm!
