Today, the lucky fifteen got to take part in some rugby coaching on the pitches at the Saints grounds. Community coach Tom Ennes took the Wrenn XV through their paces, as they brushed up on their catching and kicking skills. Tom was very impressed with the kicking ability of the students, saying they could kick better than him! After a gruelling training session, the students tackled a fast-paced game of rugby netball, with the girls putting their netball skills to good use, blocking a lot of passes.  Miss Morris was also very excited to meet rugby star, Mark Robinson, at the end of the session!

After catching their breath, the Wrenn XV then put their data-handling heads on, working out the average weights and heights of the players, then took part in the Club Challenge. The pupils have been busy bees, designing their own sports club, which includes choosing players, designing a stadium, working to a budget, sorting out sponsorship for their team, and designing a team strip and logo.

A great day for all involved!
