Havant Mini Festival
     
 
Largest
Mini Rugby Festival in the South of England reach's its 32nd year!
Havant RFC Mini Festival
Held on
Sunday 30th April 2008
Havant RFC, Hooks Lane, Havant, Hampshire
What is probably
the South of England's largest Mini Rugby Festival and definitely one of
the longest established will take place on
Sunday 20th April
2008 at Havant RFC Hooks Lane ground. Havant RFC is one of the largest
and most progressive clubs on the South Coast, and with its 1st XV
currently riding high in National League Division 3 South it is very
appropriate that this prestigious Festival of Mini Rugby in
Hampshire has captured the imagination of Rugby clubs both near and far.
A small dedicated committee have begun working on the Festival already,
and as many as thirteen clubs, one from as far away as Tyneside, have
participated in previous years. Each age group from Under 7s to Under
12s will have 12 teams, making for 72 teams in total. Over 1000 children
will be involved, and this number will be swelled by the countless
parents and siblings cheering on the players on the day.
The participating teams are divided into 2 leagues with the winners and
runners-up in each league progressing onto the semi-finals and, if
successful, on to a final - and the dream of many young players of
winning such a prestigious festival. In a change to previous years, the
2008 festival will also feature a Plate competition at all age groups.
What is also thought of as a first for a club Festival organisation is
the heading up, once again, of this Festival on its own dedicated web
site. As you can see the site (at
www.festivals.havant-rfc-mj.co.uk/ ) has all the information that
participating teams might need. After the festival all the results will
be posted on this site and on
www.havant-rfc-mj.co.uk
The Festival is a wonderful opportunity for many young boys and girls to
show their skills before they take the jump to Junior Rugby. Win or lose
there is no doubt that many go home at the end of the day being
genuinely proud to have taken part in one of the biggest rugby events of
their young lives so far.
