Shield success claimed by under-11s at Sixways
He may have missed out Twickenham, but Shrewsbury Under-11 skipper Kamran Sarai loved every minute of his Land Rover Premiership Rugby Cup experience.
Launched during the 2008/09 season, it is the first national grassroots tournament officiated by Premiership Rugby and run in conjunction with all 12 clubs.
And on Saturday it was Worcester Warriors' turn to host as the top local under-11s and under-12s mini rugby teams met in the shadow of Sixways Stadium. And while Sarai was not able to lift the Under-11s Cup trophy for a spot at rugby HQ, his team did not leave empty-handed as they scooped the shield competition – edging out Stourbridge by a single try in the final. "These festivals are really fun," said the St George's Junior School student.
"It's cool Worcester put on this day, as it's very inspiring to know they are watching us play.
