Tag Rugby School Games Shropshire Champions!

What an achievement for our amazing Tag Rugby Team!

After progressing through two tournaments to qualify, our team started the day confidently, progressing through their group with 5 wins out of 5.

This set up a final with Oswestry School. The step up in quality was evident right from the start with Oswestry taking a 3-1 lead after the first few minutes. But then followed a period of immense defence and outstanding attack from our team, turning the score line around in the middle section of the match and bringing it back to 4-4 with 3 minutes to go. 4-4 became 5-5 setting up a tense final two minutes where one moment of brilliance could make all the difference. The moment of brilliance came from Baschurch, where an excellent team try made the score 6-5. With Oswestry pressing hard in the final minute for a reply, the Baschurch defence forced a turnover and raced over the try line to secure victory.

This win marks an incredible achievement, with over 100 schools and 1000 pupils taking part in the School Games tournament. Well done to all children involved throughout each round!
