A Y5/6 team took part in a big tag rugby competition organised by the Exeter Chiefs. 30 other schools from the local area took part. The Brixington team competed very well  and ended up finishing 2nd in their group, winning two games and only loosing one. However, with only the top team going through, this meant they were sadly out of the competition.

After a lunch break, the team then played some 'friendly' matches against St Josephs, Exeter Road and Withycombe. Once again they rose to the challenge and played some thrilling rugby in 2 fabulous wins and a narrow defeat. The children had an exciting day of rugby!
