Tag Rugby Blitz

The boys and girls from 3rd and 4th took part in a tag rugby blitz in Edenderry Rugby Club. Although the weather wasn't wonderful, they still had a super day representing the yellow and blue of Killina. As always, our children were commended for their excellent manners and super attitude. We brought two teams to the blitz and both teams were put into the same group against schools from Monasteroris, Kilshanroe and Ticknevin. There were good victories for both teams and some close encounters too. The day finished off with a bruising encounter between Killina A and Killina B. Pride of the school was at stake and both teams played out a fantastic game. One of our teams finished in second place overall in the tournament. Both teams had a fantastic morning. Many thanks to Gráinne Vaugh for the help and support that she has given to our school in preparing for this blitz. We would like to encourage our students to give rugby a try with Edenderry and to put some of their new-learned skills to the test. If anybody is interested in playing with Edenderry, they can contact David Sharpe (0871424249) or Gráinne Vaugh ([email protected]). Alternatively, boys and girls are welcome to turn up at training on Wednesdays (7pm) or Saturdays (11am). Once again, well done to everyone for giving it their all today and thanks to Edenderry RFC for their hosting of the blitz.
