Youngsters try out for rugby success

More than 300 primary school children will compete in the tag rugby tournament at Maidstone Rugby Club.

The annual tournament will see 30 teams compete against each other for a coveted place in the Kent tag rugby finals, held in June at Aylesford Rugby Club.

Each team will play up to ten matches in the battle for victory, and the winning team will be presented with a trophy and medals by the Mayor of Maidstone, Cllr Richard Ash. All matches will be refereed by students from secondary schools in Maidstone.

The tournament is organised by Maidstone Borough Council in partnership with the Maidstone and Ashford School Sports Partnership.
