Highnam Win Ledbury Tag Rugby Festival

Highnam Academy ended the tag rugby season with a third trophy after a great day in the sun at Ledbury Rugby Club. In the run-up Highnam had won the Newent Festival, the Forest of Dean district finals in Mitcheldean and were runners up in the County Finals at Hartpury College. Their final challenge of the season was the Ledbury Rugby Festival where 30 teams from Gloucestershire and Herefordshire battled it out to be festival champions. The Westons sponsored event saw Highnam qualify as group champions and they were up against Ashperton, Gorsley, Cradley and Much Birch.

The team was made up of 6 boys (Jack, Jacob, Jasper, Luke, Rohan and Toby) and 4 girls (Evie, Felicity, Sienna and Tatiana). They all played their part in winning four of the final league matches and drawing one. This meant they topped the league and were crowned Ledbury RFC Tag Rugby Champions 2016.

Congratulations to all the pupils who have represented the school in the league and cup matches this season.
