Friday saw Kesteven Rugby put forward an enthusiastic mixed team to participate in the Global Payments Tigers Touch Tournament at Welford Road under the cooperate name Techtrak.

A total of 14 teams participated in typically wet weather with an exemplary display of rugby spirit at its best.
The team played 6 pool matches, coming joint 3rd on points with two other sides out of 7 with a fantastic display of outrageous try scoring moves and a stoic defensive effort on the increasingly sodden hallowed turf.

The team qualified for the bowl semi finals, keen on showing just what makes our family club such a close one. Every player showcased unbelievable skills in the rain, scoring the best try of the tournament to beat a very competitive outfit.

This led to the final which proved to be the longest match of the day coming down to a golden try period of extra time, lasting longer than the match itself after a 0-0 scoreline. Following a heroic effort from all members of both sides, Techtrak won the Bowl following a well-read intercept.

Having had the pleasure of officiating all 8 of the team’s matches today, it was an excellent day out for all of the mighty Black Army. What a way to end the season, roll on 2019/2020!
