Y5/6 Tag-Rugby

Team Oakwood were in action today at the School Games Y5/6 Tag-Rugby event at Test Park. Oakwood are the current holders of the trophy so were very keen to bring the trophy back to Oawkood once again.

Oakwood had five group games to navigate before any possible semi-final and they were keen to ensure they got the job done properly! Their group results were as follows:

Oakwood 8 - 4 Thornhill

Oakwood 11 - 1 Ludlow B

Oakwood 7 - 0 Springhill

Oakwood 7 - 1 Bitterne B

Oakwood 4 - 5 Bassett Green

Losing their final group game was tough as it had been a very even game until the last minute. It meant that Oakwood progressed as group runners up and played Bitterne A in the semi-final. Oakwood again dominated, winning 8 - 3.

A final - against group nemesis Bassett Green - called. At half time Oakwood were in control and looked unplayable at 3-1 up. But a succession of mistakes slowly let Bassett Green back into the game: they pulled level at 4 - 4 with just a minute to play. Unfortunately a final mistake led to Bassett scoring again and taking a 4 - 5 lead with just seconds left on the clock. Bassett fully deserved to win on their second half performance but the game showed just how cruel sport can be. 

Well done to all of Oakwood's 7 players who were OUTSTANDING! Special mention to player of the day, Marcus.
