	Beach Rugby Tournament - August 2006

The Mid Warwickshire Girls Rugby team – the Comets – attended the Lusty Glaze Beach Tag Rugby festival over August bank holiday weekend in Cornwall. 12 girls represented the team with great flair and commitment, and were supported by a large travelling band of supporters, parents and friends.  

They played five competitive matches at the tournament, against both male and mixed teams, winning three games. They were narrowly beaten 7 – 6 by St Ives in the quarter finals of the cup stage. 

The tournament, organised by the Lusty Glaze Beach adventure company and the English Rugby Football Union, is held every year and features two days of non-stop barefoot tag rugby. The Comets team was interviewed and filmed by Sky Sports, who will broadcast the interview and the matches at a future date. 

Tag Rugby coach Mike Vallance said; 

 “This is the first time the Comets have attended this tournament and the team made a big impact, reaching the quarter finals and playing against bigger male only and mixed-gender tag rugby teams. The tournament, with its live music, non-stop rugby, beach barbecues and spectacular firework finale, also made a huge impact on the girls, and we have already registered two teams to play again in 2007!”
