The second day of the tournament was a fun day which consisted of all age groups playing games with a mix of each of the clubs on each team.

“We are currently exposing our kids to roughly 25 percent of potential game time given in a season. With new opportunities being foreseen in 2017/2018 we look forward to reaching the 75 percent bracket by the end of the 2017/2018 season,” said a CRFU spokesperson.

“We would like to thank the parents for their continued commitment to the game of rugby in Cayman. Your tireless effort to always find a way to get your children to South Sound Field twice a week after school and early on a Saturday mornings,” the spokesperson added.

The CRFU extended a big thanks to all the volunteer coaches, managers, physio and doctors, who have made themselves available to Cayman Junior Rugby.

Tour sponsors include: Cayman Junior Rugby Trust, Maples, Fidelity, AON, The Children’s Clinic Cayman, Seven Mile Dental Clinic and OneLife Fitness.
