Rugby at Portadown College
This morning a group of Primary 6 & 7 boys and girls walked to Portadown College to take part in a rugby skills workshop. Alistair Toal, Portadown RFC CCRO and Portadown College coach, led the session. We joined Edenderry PS and Moyallon PS in learning how to fall safely in a tackle, how to tackle correctly and how to run and pass. The children had the opportunity to use equipment such as tackle pads to practise their skills. They also had a tour of the College facilities and they met some of the 1st XV players including a number of our own past pupils. The session was rounded off with some games outside on the pitches and everyone agreed it had been a fantastic morning. Thanks to Alistair and all the College players who looked after us during the session.
