In the Foyle area, Community Rugby Coach, David Funston, has been delivering tag rugby to schools for six week periods. Teams are 8 aside with 2 girls required to be on the pitch at any one time.
Wednesday's action saw pupils and teachers from Lisnagelvin PS, Ebrington PS, Cumber Claudy PS, Oakgrove PS, Hollybush PS and St. Columba's PS brave the elements.
The event focused on enjoyment rather than a competitive structure and the participants flourished in that environment, with many onlookers commenting on the talent on display and the great tries being scored. The handling, running and decision making skills displayed by all the children was outstanding. Teams must also be complimented on their sportsmanship.
Funston was keen to thanks City of Derry RFC for hosting the event and the schools for sending participants.
This event was made possible due to the generous support of the NI Executive and the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure through the 'Promoting Equality, Tackling Poverty and Social Exclusion through Sport' programme.
