Day 7
Both teams were back at the main hall for breakfast followed by a good warm up ready for the start of today’s matches. The U17’s started the day with a marginal loss to Huddersfield as did the U15’s to their age groups favourites Chinnor RFC. After the pool stages the final matches were worked out depending on previous performances.Both teams played well and worked had to achieve the best result possible.
After all the matches had been played each team was awarded a trophy for taking part. A big round of applause must go to the U15’s who could have won the tournament but lost to the eventual winners, and worthy winner Livorno were winning all the games with impressive displays of good open running rugby.
It has to be said that Navsfed’s strengths are in the long game and the tournament’s 5 minutes per half was always going to favour the teams that are used to playing this way. Both teams enjoyed the weekend and the tour as a whole and hopefully every tourist will have fantastic memories of France 2010.
