On Friday May 6th, 25 children participated in the annual Rugby Funday tournament, again held at the Burnside Rugby Club.  West Melton took two teams to this event.  One team was coached by Barry Ward and managed by Karen Heiler.  They managed to win 2 out of their 3 games and were very impressive with some skilful tries being scored.  They second team was coached by Mike Johnston and managed by Emma Smith.  They also had similar results with 2 wins and a loss.  Unfortunately for them their loss game after the siren had gone.

One of the highlights for me, was again the amount of girls that decided to play.  Some of who had never played rugby before.  The were all very determined and in a lot of cases showed the boys how to play.  Special thanks to all players, coaches, managers and parents for supporting this event.
