The Vale of Lune rugby club was the setting on Wednesday May 5 as twenty teams battled it out in the primary school competition.
The seven a-side tournament was open to all Year 5 and 6 boys and girls. Each team had to play three girls throughout their matches.
The teams were split into four groups with the top two from each progressing through to the quarter finals. Most of the group stage games were tight affairs with eight ending in a tie and most having just one try in it.
In the end Arkholme and St Peter’s B progressed from group one, St Wilfrid’s and Christchurch A qualified from group two. Dallas Road A and Moorside B came out on top from group three with St Peter’s A and Moorside A completing the quarter final line up.
