Fun and games mark end of youth season
As rain lashed Lochaber Rugby Club’s Banavie pitch last Saturday ahead of its mini rugby awards and fun day, organisers feared the day may be spoiled.
But the club’s young stars turned out in force in wet weather gear and got stuck into the day’s festivities.
Lochaber Rugby Club holds the event every summer to celebrate the end of the youth rugby season and to hand out prizes to the season’s outstanding players.
The presentations were made at the start of the afternoon then the fun and games began, with plenty to keep children and parents occupied.
Team games and other activities allowed players to bring out their competitive side.
The assault course proved tricky in the slippery conditions but the youngsters still made a good go of it.
Tug-o-war competitions proved popular with the children as they tested their strength against each other. Some first team players and parents got in on the action too, which made for some exciting face-offs.
Saturday morning rugby coaching will start again in August after the school holidays.
