This was the inaugural attendance at the Lichfield Festival and was well supported by Sandbach RUFC.

Despite a slow and nervy start, always the way, the Under 11's progressed steadily and gained confidence as the pool matches were completed, with the team topping the table.

A semi final against Lichfield put paid to any nerves with the team playing extremely well with a good balance between attack and defence. A final with Trentham loomed.

The final against Trentham was played with the team playing some of the best rugby seen this year. The team won 5 tries to 0.

Congratulations to players, coaches and parents. Next week is the Cheshire Cup and if we start just as well as we finished this weekend, you never know......
