Back in February, our Minis section were awarded KidsFirst Champions by the RFU. We were due to have a training day at Twickenham in May as a reward, but COVID19 saw the event postponed and then cancelled.
In recognition of the club's fantastic effort to create a positive environment for kids rugby and to compensate for the cancellation of the event, the RFU donated 102 balls to the club.
We secured funds from Sport England to top these up to ๐ด๐ถ๐ณ๐ ๐ฟ๐๐ด๐ฏ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฎ๐น๐น ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฏ ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ท๐๐ป๐ถ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐บ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐. Some were awarded by coaches this weekend, with the rest finding their way into players hands next week.
Players are encouraged to use their new rugby balls to practice skills, play with family and friends, and spread their love of the game to others. And maybe bring a friend along to training after Christmas!
We are grateful to the RFU and Sport England for making this initiative possible.
