Rory shows off the Cup to the media at Twickenham

Salisbury Rugby Football Club's Under 11s team, captained by Year 6 Farleigh pupil, Rory Jennings, entertained the Twickenham crowd on  Bank Holiday Monday with some scintillating rugby at the finals of the National Mini Rugby Cup.

The best 20 teams in the country competed for a place in the semi finals and final, which took place at Twickenham Stadium on 28th May, just before the England Saxons match against Scotland A. Salisbury had reached the Twickenham stage after winning the National Mini Rugby Festival held at Nottingham in April.

In the semi-final, Salisbury beat 2006 finalist, Sandal, 10-0, with style and confidence. The final against York, who won the Cup last year, was a much tougher match, but Salisbury delivered a stunning and disciplined team performance. It resulted in a 5-5 draw, with Rory scoring the try, and the sharing of the title of U11 National Mini Rugby Champions. Former England player, Gareth Chillcot, presented the Cup to Rory to finish off what has been a very successful season for the U11 team.
