The Holywood Primary School Rugby Squad finished their season with a friendly game against Sullivan Upper Preparatory Department.
It was another great day for rugby and after the short walk along Demesne Road it was time for the match to begin. After a typical slow start, HPS started to play some excellent rugby. Some brilliant, tactical kicking helped HPS gain so good territory and even a try. The team defended well in a very evenly matched game. With the ball in had the team were prepared to offload the ball, when given the chance, and some direct running lead to several excellent tries. Thank you again to Sullivan for hosting the match and to all the parent helpers for coming along to assist and support.
Final Score Sullivan Prep 5 – 6 Holywood Primary School
Well done to all the players who were involved in HPS rugby this year. With a lot of P6 players in the squad, rugby in Holywood Primary looks in safe hands. A special mention must also go to all the P7 players who were playing their final game for the school, they have all been fantastic and a pleasure to coach over the last two seasons. I really hope they all continue to play rugby as the move on to their new schools.
