Tom and Ben had their first mini rugby tournament this Saturday. The matches were against three other clubs. Unfortunately for the under 7s only one of the other teams fielded a team for that age group (of 5 players), but as Flers had 15 players they were divided into 3 teams of 5 players. Each match was a 5 minute each way affair and all the kids had to do was to score a try whilst attempting to stop the opposition from getting their try. All very basic.Tom made some excellent tackles and scored a couple of trys, whilst Ben also made a good tackle and some runs forward. Ben is not so keen at the moment to get right into the fray - something to do with a wobbly tooth and not wanting it to fall out (I have told him the tooth fairy/mouse will still come even if he loses the tooth) - but he still managed to score a try later on.
We all had a fun afternoon and it was lovely to see them turn out it the team colours.
Sounds brilliant and a lovely way to spend a family afternoon.

Could be worse, Adam, we could have one playing for England and one for France - how could I live the latter down? And they will only wear that green and gold when you wear an England shirt!!!
