TAVISTOCK RFC hosted the Year 3 and 4 Tag Rugby Festival on Tuesday, April 25 with more than 170 children taking part.

Some of the youngsters had never played before and had a great time scoring as many tries as they could.

All 16 teams enjoyed the feast of tag rugby on a bright but cold day.

Participating school teams included Tavistock, St Peter’s (2 teams), Whitchurch, Lamerton, Gulworthy, Mary Tavy and Brentor (2 teams), Bere Alston (whole Year 4), Horrabridge (3 teams), Meavy (2 teams) and Lady Modiford’s at Walkhampton.

Top try scorers were Whitchurch with 18, Meavy and Tavistock with 15 each, St Peter’s A team and Mary Tavy and Brentor with 12 each and Lamerton with 10.

All children went home with a certificate to remind them of their experience.
