Nettlefield PS has started its very own Rugby Club for P7 pupils as a result of an Ulster Rugby coaching programme funded by DCAL.
Community Rugby Coach, Neill Alcorn, attended the first session of the club to provide the school with a new 'Play Rugby' kit. P6 and P7 groups at Nettlefield had been coached by Alcorn along with Malone RFC's Club Community Rugby Officer, Sam McBurney, who has also been in the school doing great work with different years in the school!
It is great to see so many kids wanting to take part in rugby and hopefully some will be encouraged to join clubs around their own area and keep improving their skills!
This coaching has been 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.
