Cornish Pirates held the latest Tag Rugby Festival at Camborne RFC for schools from Redruth who had been taking part in the latest block of coaching courtesy of EDF Energy.
The teams invited had been put through their paces over 5 weeks by Cornish Pirates Community coaches Floyd Barnett and Mike Crump.
After learning the basics of the game, they were invited to the home of the Cornish Pirates to play in their first tournament. |
In addition to playing in such a ground, Pirates stars Iva Motusaga, Nathan Kemp, Rob Elloway and Dan Seal all came along to pose for photos, sign autographs and mix with the children, answering questions on their careers. This was enjoyed by all the kids, who went away with smiles on their faces. The standard was exceptionally high, with some schools showing some great skills and organisation. All involved enjoyed the experience in some warm (ish) December sunshine, the complete opposite of the weather at last weeks Moseley match.  |
Both finalists came from Group A, with Trewirgie overcoming an improving Portreath side with some dazzling rugby. All the winning team and coaches were presented with a Signed Mini Cornish Pirates, as pictured. In addition, both Trewirgie sides will be involved on the pitch for the EDF National Trophy cup tie against Northampton Saints on Saturday 12th January. Runners Up Portreath were presented with a poster for this week's game, and will be performing on the pitch at half time performing in an EDF Energy Tag Rugby showcase against Sennen School, who were part of the first block of coaching. |
