MOUNT Kelly hosted a U13s rugby festival. Five schools from around the local area, Tavistock College, Okehampton College, Exeter Cathedral School, Stover School and Mount Kelly, were involved in a packed afternoon of rugby at the Prep School. 

Teams played four matches each and all players showed great amounts of skill and sportsmanship. 

In this type of tournament there is no overall winner. Instead, one outstanding player from each school was awarded a set of ‘Kids First’ boot laces. The giving of these coveted laces is part of the England Rugby initiative to show that the selected player represented the core values or five pillars of rugby union —teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline and sportsmanship.
