Timed to fit in with the Rugby World Cup, each team played six games in a round-robin league with Lacey Gardens winning one group, and St Michael’s topping the other.

The final was played in driving rain and, despite playing with a man down due to an injury, St Michael’s won the final by three tries to nil.

St Michael’s headteacher Paul Fox said: “It was fantastic to see so many children playing the only game where you can only pass backwards!

“Well done to all the children for coping with increasingly slippery conditions and a big thank-you to all the Academy Sports Leaders for officiating the matches.”
