Over the past few weeks, Primary 6 have been taught Rugby tactics by coaches Brendan and Sam. The coaches have been teaching us the essential skills needed to play rugby.

We interviewed Hollie and she said “I have really liked learning how to pass and dodge”.

For the first month, Primary Six trained out in the school field. We learned the basic skills and techniques for passing the ball, how to tackle, a scrum etc.

On Wednesday 1^st October, a few schools competed against each other in a Rugby Festival for the boy’s trophy and girl’s trophy. After a few bumps, bruises and sprains, (and lots of fun!) it was time to announce the winners! All the schools had performed amazingly well, but there could only be one winner!

1^st place for the girls was St Ninian’s Primary, great job!

It was a rough day for the boys as there were a lot of tries and bumps and bruises but they fought on until the end. The overall winners in the boy’s category was, in 1^st place… MoorfootPrimary! Congrats!

Thank you to all the schools who competed in the tournament and a special thanks to Brendan and all the other staff who organised festival. We had such a brilliant day!!!

We hope you have enjoyed our first blog post!
