VALE OF LUNE DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE FINISHES
WITH A BANG
The Vale of Lune Rugby Union for Secondary Schools Development League concluded for 2009 with a bang and proved to be a huge success with players, teachers, parents, coaches and organisers. Since September 7 schools from the area signed up to the Development League with the focus purely on giving players who do not normally play rugby a chance to shine in a competitive sport and give schools regular fixtures which are organised by the local RFU Community Rugby Coach.
Points were awarded but only if you turned up for the round of fixtures- 3 for a win, 2 for a draw, 1 for a loss and 0 if you did not attend. This was to encourage schools to attend no matter what the score was going to be. This proved a big incentive for schools.

Finally a big thanks must go to Dave Harrison from Pye Motors and Iveco for sponsoring the Development League and giving a replica New Zealand ball to all players in the League, t-shirts to the winning U16 teams and jackets to winning coaches.
