Last weekend, our U11 sevens rugby team enjoyed a rare Saturday fixture, taking part in the annual Caldicott Prep 7s festival. 

With 12 teams taking part on the day, there were 2 pools of 6, with one crossover game to end the day. This meant that our boys played six games, each lasting 10 minutes. A lot of rugby to be played and plenty of opportunity to showcase their skills! 

The first game was the toughest, taking on a strong Caldicott team on their main pitch, with the game being live streamed on YouTube! The boys defended brilliantly, but couldn't quite get their attack going, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. What followed after was a brilliant day of rugby overall and the Warwick boys showcased some fantastic rugby - having worked very hard in training to improve their attacking skills. They went on to win all five of their remaining games. 

A highlight of the day was a full-length of the pitch, multiphase try against our friends at Clifton College, who we had met earlier in the season on tour. But a highlight for the coaches was watching the boys do player-led huddles and team talks, piecing together what the focus of each game should be. A real sign of maturity from the players!

It was a fantastic day overall, and having a large parent group there in support definitely gave the boys a lift throughout the day. Well done to all of the boys who took part.
