District Tag Rugby Final

On the last day before half term, Little Green competed in the Three Rivers & Watford District Tag Rugby Final at St Joan of Arc School.

The team played really well and battled hard against some tough opponents, unfortunately it wasn't to be their day, losing 2 matches and winning once in their final game. The group worked so hard to get to the District final and can be so proud of their 3rd place finish after a great season of Tag Rugby.

County Hockey Final

Little Green went to Oaklands College in St Albans on Wednesday and spent the day at the Hertfordshire County Hockey Final. The team played 9 matches across the day and were looking to do their very best to represent the Three Rivers & Watford District after winning the District final last month.

A final tally of 28pts gave us 4th place and secured a fantastic achievement for the group to be one of the top teams from across the county.
