Match Report
Burton Hathow travelled to St Hugh’s for an introduction to contact rugby. We started with a touch game to warm all the players up and get them moving including the basic structure of rugby. We then broke out into a skill zone introducing how to fall and basic body positioning of the tackler. The boys then went back into a game where we played touch parachute fall getting the players comfortable with contact with the floor. We then moved to Touch/Tackle keeping the tackle as a 1v1 nice and controlled. Once all the players were comfortable with this we progressed to a contact game. The St Hugh’s boys played so well, with some great ball carriers and some fantastic tackling. St Hugh’s managed to execute some impressive tries and the players really challenged themselves to involve all the players throughout the game. Very impressed and proud of these young boys, an exciting season ahead. Well done!
