The 35th Warwick Junior School 7s Festival took place in glorious weather and welcomed some of the strongest rugby‑playing junior schools from across the Midlands, stretching from Nottingham to Oxford to Worcester.

Across eight matches — four in the morning and four in the afternoon—the standard of rugby was exceptionally high, with fast, skilful and competitive play throughout the day. The Warwick U11 team rose to the challenge superbly, showcasing outstanding teamwork, resilience and flair. They are developing into an outstanding 7s team and we look forward to seeing how the go at the upcoming Summerfields and Caldicott Festivals.

A special mention goes to the U11 B Team, who showed tremendous determination competing against all the other schools’ and to the A team, who never once giving up, demonstrating some fantastic handling skills and representing the school with pride.

A huge thank you to all staff, referees, ground staff and the catering team for their hard work in making this year’s festival another great success.
