Ely Tigers Girls U12s had a fantastic day at a Love Rugby Festival hosted by Hadleigh, writes Steve Wells.
The festivals are for girls aged from U9 up to U12 whether they are part of a club already or an individual.
They can attend and join in, even if they have never played rugby before. They are a great way to get the girls playing rugby together and having fun.
Our seven U12 Ely Tigers are a mixture of girls, some who have played in the Minis groups until they move into the girls section at U12, some had never played competitive games and some only joined us this season.
We also had the pleasure of meeting three girls from Ipswich who made up the team of 10.
They had a lot of fun and quickly worked together well. The next Love Rugby Festival is on December 8, and is open to girls from U9-U12.
