Highnam Teams final success at Newent Tag Rugby Festival

On 29th March Highnam A and Highnam B Tag Rugby Teams entered the Newent Cluster Festival held at the Secondary School. There were over 12 teams present at the competition and the teams were divided into two pools. Highnam B played extremely well winning 3 games and losing 1 and so progressed through to the semi-finals. Highnam A had a few tough games to start with drawing with Tibberton, Picklenash A and Huntley but again just made it through to the semi-finals. Highnam A were up against Ann Cam and Highnam B played Picklenash A.

After a number of wonderful tries Highnam A secured a place in the final but who would they play? Highnam B went into extra time against Picklenash A and grabbed a late try. This meant there would be an all Highnam final. All the players had played so well all afternoon and the final was very close but Highnam A came out on top 7-5. Both teams did incredibly well and have progressed to the district finals which will be held after the Easter holidays.

Congratulations to both teams and a big thank you for all the support they received during the afternoon.
