300 kids attend Youth Rugby Tournament

 
 
Langholm Youth Rugby members and coaches sporting their new WInter jackets
 

Huge team effort produces great day for the juniors

Langholm Youth Rugby Trust hosted their annual Borders Tournament with over 300 kids from 6 Borders towns competing in their age groups.

From Primary 3 through to Primary 7 all kids played with great enthusiasm & sportsmanship.

It was good to see The Langholm Youth Rugby getting the use out of their new jackets, these were kindly sponsored by S.Richardson Contracting, Cochranes Nurseries & Telfords Coaches. A huge thank you to them as they certainly helped on this chilly morning!

Tournaments like these are a good fundraiser for the youth section and a massive thank you must also go to those involved organising, coaching, refereeing, pitch managers, car parking, kitchen & stall helpers! Also, to the parents who supported their children on this cold day, We couldn’t manage without you all.
