Written by Dean Blake on 04/11/2011 – 3:58 pm -
Bristol Metropolitan Academy organised a junior version of the Rugby World Cup. Boys and girls teams competed and the girls hoped to defeat the boys at the tournament.
The tournament, organised by Nigel Cooley from Bristol Metropolitan Academy, forms part of the Academy’s ongoing strategy to work with their local primaries, in subjects across the curriculum. Twelve teams from St Matthias & Dr Bell’s, Oldbury Court, Hillfields, Chester Park and Begbrook Primary Schools took part.
Following on from the recent Rugby World Cup, the teams were named after one of the participating nations.
Mr Glyn Blaize, ex Wasps Rugby player, who has been assisting in training some of the children said, “I was extremely impressed with the standard of play displayed by the children, especially the girls.”
Kyra Williams, captain of one of the girls teams, England, from St Matthias & Dr Bell’s said, “I was very excited and that the girls were going all out to win the tournament. It’s going to be a hard tournament, but if we focus we can win it.”
The eventual winners were St Matthias & Dr Bell’s (Ireland) second, Chester Park (Wales) third, Oldbury Court (Scotland)
