Rydal Penrhos to host rugby tournament

Rydal Penrhos is gearing up to host one of their biggest events on the sporting calendar. Details were recently revealed for the school’s annual U16 Rugby 7s Tournament, which will be taking place on Saturday 11th March from 9am4pm on the exceptional New Field site. The day-long competition is set to feature a large number of schools and clubs from across North Wales and the North West for what is sure to be an exceptional showcase of talent and camaraderie. This is the fifth time Rydal Penrhos has organised the event, which is held for U16 teams before many of them embark on senior and first-team rugby in the coming months. Teams will be put into groups and following the opening games, they will then be divided into Cup, Plate, Bowl, Trophy and Shield categories depending on their placings in each pool. This will be followed by the all-important knockout stage to decide the overall winners in each category. The competition always generates a significant amount of interest and next year’s event was no different. All places were registered quickly, with the tournament now fully booked. Having every place full at this early stage is a testament to the superb organisation of past Rugby 7s competitions at Rydal Penrhos. Something that only enhances the school’s reputation as a magnificent venue for sports.
