106 is the incredible number of children, coaches and parents going on the Overton Rugby Club mini section tour of Holland at Easter. With the men’s XV going as well, there will be some 120 going Dutch and the Mayor of Valkenswaard, host of the tour, has asked if there is going to be anyone left in Overton!

The tour is a biennial event with an international rugby festival taking place at Overton in the intervening years. DeVets Rugby Club from Valkenswaard come and play at the FestOval and arranged the tour. An action packed weekend will include games at Etten-Leur on the way out and a tournament with eight other local clubs. Yet more rugby is planned on Easter Sunday with time for an Easter egg hunt and a visit to a pancake house.

Gary Millar, Overton’s Coaching Co-ordinator said, “It is an amazing feat for such a small club to be able to send so many off on this tour. It will be a real experience for our younger players and I am most grateful for the support of all the parents and sponsors without whom the tour could not go ahead.”
