Nick Todd was delighted with the Festival, "We have had a fantastic response to this opportunity for schools to play rugby at a high quality community rugby club. Having twenty schools take up the invitation meant that we could not only provide a meaningful opportunity for boys to play rugby, but also promote our core values, fair play spirit and the benefits of joining their local rugby club. I can't thank the boys, teachers and volunteers enough for helping to make this happen."
