At a luncheon during the U18 VIIs day Alpha Foundation chairman Howdy Binning presented a cheque for £1,500 to Kent Schools' Chairman David Bowers. Howdy said, "Our trust aspires to support activities that give meaningful and fulfilling experiences to young people. That way they are more likely to tread their way through adolescence without getting into trouble."
Girls' Inaugural 'Pitch Up and Play'!
On Wednesday 18th November 2015, John Fitzpatrick, i/c Kent Schools Rugby Development for Girls and a teacher at Dartford Grammar School, ran our inaugural ‘Pitch up and Play' at Dartford Grammar School. The event was organised to allow girls a chance to experience more game relevant skills, in addition to building relationships with players from different schools. Girls from Dartford Grammar School, Simon Langton Grammar School and Maidstone Grammar School attended.
Over 30 girls took part in the sessions, led by Catherine Spencer (former England Ladies captain) and John Fitzpatrick. The event was an enormous success, showcasing a great deal of talent, but above all else, the sportsmanship that accompanied it. We hope that this will be the catalyst for another successful season for the Kent Schools Girls' Rugby.
More congratulations!
