CCJS U11 Rugby 7s Tournament 2020

Sandwiched in between all the wind, rain, hail and snow we’ve had this week, Churcher's College Junior School still managed to host our annual U11 rugby tournament on Wednesday 26th Feb.

12 teams took part from 10 different schools and as always the competition was tough. The group stages saw CCJS A team coming top of Group 1 with 5 matches played, 5 wins and 15 points on the board. In Group 2, Aldro finished top with 5 wins and CCJS B team put in an outstanding performance to finish 5th in the group and scoring 9 tries in the process.

Going into the play-offs, CCJS B team were up against The Royal School A team to play for 9th and 10th position. Having already taken the scalp of the Boundary Oak A team in the group stage the boys were looking for another and were not to be disappointed. Winning the match 4-0 CCJS Bs finished 9th out of 12 teams and can feel incredibly proud of their performance during the afternoon.

The play-off for 1st and 2nd place had CCJS A going head to head with Aldro for the 2nd year in a row. This was always going to be a tough match, but once again the team stepped up their game when it was needed and put in another standout performance to win the match 3-0 and claim their 2nd tournament win this term.

Not to be forgotten, a very special thank you goes out from Mr Forbes to the members of the Support Crew who played an integral part throughout the afternoon and helped to keep the tournament running smoothly. The strong winds and brief hail storm that battered the pitches made for some tricky organisation and the boys’ help was invaluable.

Very well done to all those who took part and thank you to all the spectators who turned out to support!
