WITH the wind roaring but the sun shining, a successful tag rugby tournament for Years 3/4 was held at Ysgol Ardudwy, Harlech on Wednesday, 2 April.

A good crowd of supporters and players gathered to enjoy a feast of rugby.

There were seven teams competing, and it was decided this time that everyone would play each other with every try for and against coming into play.

Competitive games were enjoyed under the supervision of referees Graham Perch, Eilir Hughes, and Euros Williams with Ellis Foulkes, Harvey Hooban and Steff Geer, starting to learn and practice their trade
