Over the weekend of 17 & 18 March, we were delighted to host 251 teams in the largest junior weekend rugby tournament in the world. Teams from 17 clubs from across the Gulf competed in 15 age groups from under 6 up to under 19, including some separate girls only competitions.
The weekend saw some fantastic rugby, all of which was played in the right spirit. We were delighted to see the high standards across all of the age groups, as well as being part of the enormous enjoyment experienced by so many children.
Over the course of the weekend, we awarded over 70 trophies, the winners of which are shown below.
