Year 5 & 6 Girls' Tag Rugby Team Shine at Northampton Saints!
Today was an unforgettable day for the Year 5 and 6 girls' tag rugby team as they visited the iconic Northampton Saints stadium in the lead-up to next year's Women's Rugby World Cup! The day was packed with excitement, learning, and competitive action, leaving everyone inspired!
The morning started with a fascinating stadium tour, where the girls got to see behind the scenes of one of the country's top rugby clubs. A highlight was meeting international players, who shared invaluable advice and encouragement, leaving the team feeling motivated and starstruck!
In the afternoon, the focus shifted to the pitch as the girls competed in a tag rugby tournament. Their teamwork, determination, and skill were on full display, making everyone proud. It was fantastic to see the sporting values of respect, teamwork, and sportsmanship shining through in every match.
A special moment of the day was seeing two iMAT schools, Badby and Rothersthorpe, join forces for this experience. The camaraderie was brilliant, but when they faced each other on the field, the competition was fierce! Both teams showed incredible effort and spirit, making it a game to remember.
We couldn't be prouder of these girlsnot only for their performance on the pitch but also for their fantastic behaviour and positivity throughout the day. They've set the bar high and shown what the future of women's rugby looks like.
Here's to many more days like this as we gear up for an exciting competition next term as well as the Women's Rugby World Cup next year!
