Manx Primary School pupils begin journey to Twickenham

Mon, 08 Nov 2010

Over 350 Manx primary school pupils are taking part in ‘tag rugby’ matches this week for a chance to play at Twickenham.

The first part of the competition starts today at the National Sports Centre as the Island is split into four regions North, South, East and West.

The Manx champions will then compete against the best 24 schools in Britain at the National finals at The Rugby School in Warwickshire.

The last time the competition was held Buchan School finished 5th out of more than 2000 teams, made it to the semi finals and were just 6 minutes from Twickenham.
