Canada Rugby U17

Canada U17 Rugby side defeated USA 32-7 at the Millfield Festival today. Shawnigan students,  Monty T. and Lucien N., played in the game. Mr Gary Dukelow is with the team as one of the coaches.

Millfield School in the south west of England hosts this annual event each Easter and the quality of the talent represented, the festival atmosphere and the outstanding facilities attract interest from far and wide. Each team is guaranteed three games during the week. Canada will also compete against Wales A and Portugal. One of the rules of the Festival is that every player in a squad must start in a match, and everyone must play at least half a game. The emphasis is on participation which is why it is a festival, not a tournament, and why there is no declared champion at the end of it.
