Harlow School Sports Partnership

Another beautiful day and another fantastic event (well two actually). We had 36 teams descend upon Harlow Rugby Club today to take part in annual tag-rugby qualifiers. Approximately 380 pupils produced some breath-taking rugby, which sadly saw some high-quality teams miss out on the finals. The behaviour was an improvement on previous years and this is down to the children knowing the rules better and having practiced more at their schools; it made for some thrilling matches.

The results are listed below:

As ever we couldn’t run these amazing events without the support of school staff, the organisers, the Harlow Rugby Club and the officials – thank you to Nathan, Steve, Dan, Luke, Gill and David for smashing through 75 games well ahead of schedule.

The top 9 teams plus the winner of a random draw for the runners-up teams, will see 10 teams return on Friday afternoon to compete for the overall title.
