The Bermuda Under-10 and Under-12 rugby teams returned to the island earlier this week having travelled to the Cayman Islands to compete in the inaugural Cayman/Bermuda Challenge Cup.

The Under-10s dominated their opposition, while the Under-12s had a much closer encounter tying their first match and being very unlucky to lose the second by a last-minute kick.

A thrilled Under-10 head coach Robbie Dickinson said: "The boys were fantastic! Our group of very gifted individual players came together as a team and played a team game to perfection. All the hard work they put in reaped such huge rewards, that they surprised themselves at how good a team they became. The future of Bermuda rugby is in very safe hands."

Under-12 head coach Andy Price said: "That was by far the best rugby that I have ever seen played by Bermuda mini rugby players. We could not have asked any more from our players. Each one of them gave it everything and, in my opinion, clearly outplayed a much bigger opposition. Sometimes the result does not reflect that, but that is rugby, and I couldn't be prouder of the players".

The tour was sponsored by PwC, ACE, Jupiter Asset Management, Mayflower Management, Arch Re and Quo Vadis.
