Quite a few children from Keyingham Primary School were involved in a Rugby League Tournament. Please read the following write up from a coach, and parent, of the Holderness Vikings Team.  Well Done to everyone involved.

Holderness Vikings

Volunteer run local Rugby League team based in Keyingham with age groups across all ages from under 5’s through to under 14’s.

 

Primary HV Team’s at the tournament

Primary Rugby League tournament against teams from as far away as Warrington, Oldham and Saddleworth. Although no scores are recorded in Primary Rugby League, to minimise the pressure on the children and to keep things fun, the U8 team performed fantastically against some very difficult opposition (Won 4, Drew 1 and Lost 1 – unofficially winning the group).

The U7 group (year 2) which included quite a few of our students, were undefeated all weekend. (unofficially winning their groups also). All children in year 2 played outstandingly with one child getting a ‘player of the tournament award’.

 

Fair Play Award

1 team from each age group is selected by the event organisers to win the ‘Fair Play Award’. This award is scored on a points system throughout the weekend with points awarded by the event officials to teams for topics such as Skill, Determination, Behaviour, Attitude, Respect and the way in which they generally conduct themselves and treat others. The Under 8 team were selected to receive this award and were presented it on stage by members of the Leeds Rhinos Team (and Ronnie the Rhino) in front of 100’s of other players and parents.
