A GREAT time was had by youngsters in the annual primary tag rugby festival at Callington Community College last Wednesday. One hundred and eight youngsters from ten of the college?s feeder primary schools took part in the successful event with 70% being boys and 30% girls. Twenty Year 10 sports leaders from the college were supporting the school teams as managers and score keepers. They also led a short warm-up session with the primary youngsters before the festival started. The refereeing was undertaken by six students who are taking the community sports leaders award at the college, and this further developed their leadership skills as part of their course. The event was divided into two sections and the level of rugby was excellent from all teams. Section A were competing to represent Callington in the Caradon District finals at Saltash Rugby Club on Thursday May 4. Winners of the section were Callington Primary School A team and runners-up were Quethiock Primary School A team. Both teams go forward to the Caradon finals and will be invited to participate in a huge East Cornwall county event run by the Police on June 15 at Bodmin. Section B was a less serious, fun section where the youngsters were being coached to develop their skills and this was won by Callington Primary School ?B? team.
