Rugby Tournament by Alex

On Wednesday 21st May two teams of ten from Heathlands took part in a tournament at the Colchester Rugby Club.  There were forty-eight teams and both our teams played really well.  Team 1 got through to the semi-final and team 2 got through to the quarter finals.  The Captain of team 1 was Ben 6FS and team 2 Captain was Alex 6G who both did a great job.  All our players performed well with some outstanding manoeuvres by Nat 4M and Edward 5C who managed to score a nail biting "Golden Try" in the quarter finals.

Thank you to Mrs Lawrence (of course) and Mr Matthews for taking us and being a great Manager in his last Heathlands Rugby Tournament.  Thanks also to the parents who came along and supported us so brilliantly.
