North Walsham RFC were fantastic hosts. Paston College provided four young rugby leaders to support the event. The event was also attended by Penny Chapman, Norfolk's RFU community coach.
Asa Saunders, development manager for the North Norfolk Partnership again highlighted the positive responses from the schools that have taken part in the rugby competitions: 'At the end of 2008 we hosted three local school competitions at club venues to determine the 12 best teams. These teams then competed in an exciting and passionate partnership finals. I wish the top three all the best at the county finals and I thank my School Sport Partnership staff and all at North Walsham Rugby Club for organising the event.'
