Rippa Rugby World Cup – Blake Park Friday 4th June
We were fortunate to get our school into this popular tournament; there were limited spaces and many schools who missed out. Coaching sessions were arranged through the BOP Rugby Union in May & April for approx. 70 children who were interested in learning to play rippa rugby. The children thoroughly enjoyed these sessions and most continued on to trial for the tournament teams. Unfortunately only 10 players per team could be selected and this proved to be an extremely difficult task.
Michelle Bond volunteered her time to help select, manage and coach the Yr 5/6 team and this was greatly
appreciated. A number of parents also provided transport on the day and stayed on to support or help coach our Yr 3/4 team.
Our year 3/4 team hadn’t lost a game and got through to the championship quarter-finals. Our year 5/6 team
getting knocked out in their semi final which was a terrific achievement and we can be very proud of our
children for the skill levels and the sportsmanship that they displayed.
