Saracens romped to win the senior tournament but good play by other teams in other games kept the tournament runners up spot open till the last game. Harlow and Daventry both entertained on and off the pitch. The highlight of the weekend was the new Tug o War competition added this year. Home side West fought hard in the final but Saracens had the slight edge and added to the silverware.

Then it was the turn of the Youngsters to entertain and they did. West who has only had an under 16 side since December impressed all with there power, size, speed and skill to win all matches and secure the winners spot. Second place was awarded to Welwyn who finished in this spot due to scoring one more try than the very well drilled Rochford Hundred side. (Both teams ended with 3 wins 2 lost making 11 league points each. Both had a +15 points difference.)

The awards were presented by Malcolm Baker (Tournament organiser and RFU Rugby Ambassador) He said “Tournaments like this are fun with a hint of competitiveness, it is all too easy to just watch England play and forget about the Grass root clubs were the players started their rugby careers this tournament mixes both those grass root clubs with the established premiership ones. This weekend I hope we have seen the next generation of international players mixing, watching and playing against those of today. This weekend has seen a player play her 1^st ever match and it was against Saracens. Her 1^st ever tackle was on Rob (Helen Clayton) we all have made her dream come true”.
