Mini Rugby World Cup

On 9^th September the Milford School Rugby World Cup competition began. This idea came from some rugby fans in our school. This time, the students got to choose their own team and country team name. Some students went around the school and asked some good rugby players to join their team. The rules were that each team needed at least 2 girls, 2 Year 5’s and 2 Year 6’s. The number of players in each team is limited to 10. After the teams and the schedules were chosen the first game was held on Friday, the opening date of the 2011 Rugby World Cup. The first games were against Argentina VS England and Fiji VS Australia. The results were England and Australia winning. Lots of games were postponed because of the terrible weather. Milford School is hoping that no more games will be postponed. The reason why Milford School is holding this event is the real Rugby World Cup has begun but the important reason is to have fun!
