Vale Royal Rugby excels at Games! Vale Royal rugby players had a great day at the Cheshire Youth Games on Saturday June 28th at Macclesfield Rugby Club. Closely fought all day Vale Royal came home as winners of the Mixed Year 5/6 Tag tournament with third place in both the girls Years 7-10 and Boys Year 8 competitions. Macclesfield Rugby Club proved a great setting for the event with the teams participating from seven Cheshire boroughs including Chester, Crewe & Nantwich, Congleton, Ellesmere Port & Neston, Macclesfield & Warrington. End to end rugby throughout the day kept up the excitement for the players, coaches and supporting parents alike. Even VIP’s, including local MP’s Ann and Nicholas Winterton joined in to support the players in the afternoon sessions. With all the games closely contested and with a number of draws the league positions for all competitions weren’t certain until the final games were completed. In the year 5/6 Tag event Vale Royal beat Chester by superior try difference, while the girls missed out on being runners-up only by a single try. Thanks go to everyone for a wonderful day including of course all the players for their commitment to prepare and to work hard on the day, to the coaches and to those who helped organise the event itself. This year Northwich Rugby Club not only provided coaching help with all age groups but players from Northwich were well represented at all levels. Well done everyone. July 2003
