St. Ninian’s High School year 7 and 8 boys rugby teams are travelling to Manchester on Friday 28th March, in what looks to be an action packed weekend of rugby.
The squad of 63 players is the biggest sports tour the school have put on in recent years, and the boys are all looking forward to testing their rugby skills against a number of school sides in the UK. On Friday, four St. Ninian’s teams are involved in a tournament with 6 other schools at Macclesfield Rugby Club, then in the evening they will travel to Salford Community Stadium for the Sale Sharks v Northampton Saints Premiership Rugby Clash. The boys are all hoping to watch, and cheer on, some of the Manx professional rugby players currently playing at Sale Sharks. On Saturday the team will play against Wilmslow and Fallibroome High Schools before making their way to Liverpool to travel home.
DC Valeting have been very generous and offered sponsorship for all of the boys on the trip, and everyone at St. Ninian’s high school is extremely appreciative of their support. The boys are looking forward to a fantastic weekend and will no doubt represent St. Ninian’s High School, and the Isle of Man, with pride.
