This week saw only 1 event take place, but what an event it was. Newman College hosted the U13 and U15 Girls Tag Rugby School Games Qualifier in which 11 teams took part from 7 schools across Oldham. On a cold night it was great to see so many girls motivated to participate no matter the weather.

U13 Tag Rugby saw 7 teams take part, 2 from Newman, 1 from Hathershaw, Blue Coat, Crompton House, Royton and Crompton and Oasis. Great displays of skills and technique were shown throughout the games from those who have taken part before and those trying the sport for the first time, it was clear to see from the warm up that this would be tightly contested. After only losing 1 game Blue Coat were victors and advance into the Greater Manchester Games, with Newman College A being closely behind in second.

U15 Tag Rugby witnessed 4 teams, 2 from Newman and 1 from Blue Coat and Crompton House. Games began with some good plays and some quality tries were being scored. Tackles were clean and precise and the first game was a close result, as games progressed it was clear to see the difference in skills levels between the start and end of the event. Newman A were unbeaten and went on to be victors.
