Toby (8JC), Nikhil (8AM) and Edward (8AM) were part of the Saracens U13s A team that competed at last weekend’s 2 day long Bishop’s Stortford U13’s Annual Rugby Festival. 9 team’s from all over England and one from Wales competed in a highly competitive competition where no team remained unbeaten. After a slow start and one loss to a large Old Northamptonians side in the first game, Saracens played through the sun, wind, rain, hail and went on to win the competition following a close fought final day game against the Cardiff side Rhiwbina. The boys dug deep and managed to break the deadlock in the final play of the game by scoring a length of the field try. Well done to all the boys on the win and a successful season.
Belmont boys were on tour with their football team Omonia Youth in Barcelona playing in an international tournament over the Easter break. The boys did very well playing above their age group and in some very tough conditions. Well done boys!
