I had a proud parental moment today at the Ivybridge U7s rugby tournament whan Matthew scored a try conveniently in front of me so I could snap the moment! Well done Matthew! More pictures are available and below I paste in the report that I sent off to the Okehampton Times today. Dad.
Okehampton go out on a high
Okehampton rugby team ended their season with panache after dominating their group in the end-of-season under 7s all-Devon tournament on Sunday. The team, who are ending their first year in rugby, played five gruelling matches against Sidmouth, Plymstock, Kingsbridge, Tavistock and Dartmouth, winning three games, drawing one and losing only one by a narrow margin. Notable performances came from Leon Horn who scored nine tries, Cory Holiday, George Ogbourne, Greg Daniels and Joseph Stratton both scoring two tries and Matthew Haygarth scoring one. However, what was so pleasing the way they played as a team, patiently passing and wearing out the opposition by selfless teamwork from Daniel Turney, Imogen Ogborne and Jack Ogborne. This marks the end of the season for a team that shows considerable promise for the future of Okehampton rugby and the team and parents would like to thank the coaches Graham Horn and Tina Adams for excellent mentoring and coaching through the season.
