Blundellian Community

The third Blundell’s Community Touch Rugby Tournament and family day took place outside the Beale Centre on Sunday, September 18, yet again with great success.

Eight teams took part in the 6-aside competition, three of which came from the ‘Blundell’s Braves’, a group from the school community that play every Thursday evening.

Teams from Stags Estate Agents, Tiverton RFC, Kings Taunton, FH Old Boys and Millfield made up the two pools of four teams. At the end of an afternoon of great touch rugby, the Braves won the overall trophy and the plate trophy.

Huge thanks go to Tom Cowle (W 1991-96) and the Friends of Blundell’s Prep Committee who ran a great BBQ, cake and drinks stall. Thanks also goes to St Austell Brewery who supplied the Korev Lager mobile bar again. And thanks also to Simon Swain and Andy Southgate for being wonderful referees.

If you wish to participate in this annual event or would like to find out more information about the Blundell’s Community Touch Rugby Thursday evening training sessions, please contact Tom Cowle on 07815 122950 or Janet Wooff at the OB Club.
