Last Sunday saw the U8s travel to the Henley RFC Festival with two teams, Lions and Tigers, winning the Fair Play award.

We’re really pleased to report that the Lions went unbeaten all morning, winning all 5 matches and scoring a total of 26 tries while conceding only 7. The Tigers played 5, won 1, narrowly lost 1 and drew 3. This feat is especially fantastic as last minute player unavailability meant travelling without substitutes, every player represented the club for every minute of their 5 games.

With that in mind we were thrilled that the squad were the proud winners of the U8 Fair Play Award. This is awarded to teams exemplifying the RFU's core values of Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship. The organisers presented this with the comment that they had “heard nothing but good things about the players, coaches and supporters of Tring U8s”. Well done Rangers!
