Tag Rugby League Competition

Hurstmere Sports Leaders officiate at the School Games Tag Rugby League competition for Primary Schools

In October the Year 10 & 11 Sports Leaders ran the Year 5/6 Tag Rugby League competition which is part of the School Games programme. All the boys attended a Rugby League Officials course earlier in the term which was run by ex-student Bill Ramdhan to equip them with the rules of the game and the knowledge they would need to organise the event. 

12 Primary Schools from across the borough competed for the title of Borough Champions and the honour of representing Bexley in the London School Games Finals. The standard of play was very high with some very close games however; Days Lane worked hard as a team and triumphed in a close competition to become Borough Champions. 

Hurstmere Sports Leaders received some excellent praise from the team managers who attended the event:

"The Sports Leaders were superb as always” Mr Lang Days Lane Primary.

“Thank you so much for organising this event, our children thoroughly enjoyed taking part and their parents, too, were appreciative.  Please pass on thanks to all the sports leaders who did a great job.” Mr Ball Head Teacher Eastcote Primary. 

“The children really enjoyed themselves and the sports leaders where great! Their officiating was excellent and really helped my children through the games.”  Mr Birch, Team Manager Upland Primary.
