Cooke RFC Mini Rugby

🎉 🏉 End of Season 🏉🎉

A brilliant way to finish the season plenty of energy and fun this morning. Pictures here: https://t.ly/f-8lo The sports day format worked perfectly, topped off with medals and well-earned hot dogs.

Across the season, it has been great to see real progress in skills, confidence and teamwork, along with strong performances at blitz days and matches. Most importantly, the enjoyment and spirit have been there every week.

A big thank you to all coaches, parents and players. Special mention to Chris Scott for leading things this season.

A fantastic platform heading into next season, for now, a well-earned break 👏

Ballyclare Festival – what a day.

Brilliant rugby across P3–P7, played in proper conditions on soft ground, with plenty of skill, resilience and muddy smiles on show. Huge credit to Ballyclare Rugby Football Club for an exceptionally well run festival – organisation, pitches and atmosphere all top class.

Thanks to our coaches, referees and parents for keeping everything moving and supporting from the sidelines.

🥶🏉 Cold one up the hill in Dromore today!

Up the hill = nature’s fridge… no wonder the butter keeps 🧈❄️

Enjoy the Easter break 🐣🏉

A brilliant morning for the return of the Cooke Mini Rugby Fest. See: https://t.ly/JIxez

Great to welcome Lurgan, Portadown, Rainey and Ophir, with around 380 kids across the pitches. A proper mix of clubs from Belfast, Mid Ulster and the North West, bringing plenty of energy and great rugby throughout.

From fun and games in the younger groups to some sharp, competitive matches in the older age grades, there was everything you want to see, running rugby, big tackles and lots of tries.
Huge thanks to all the coaches, volunteers and Mini Makers who made it happen.

A great morning and a strong platform to build on. 🏉
