Last Saturday morning I went to Anderson Park amd watched my grandson Kalani begin his rugby career! Andy and Reece Barham along with George and Sarah Massingham, organise under 5 year olds, called Mighty Rippas, to begin learning rugby skills. It was great to watch boys and a hand full of girls, along with their parents, doing rugby drills and participate in a short game of touch. Tries were scored but the emphasis was on having fun and learning a few basic skills. The highlight for me was, of course, watching Kalani run over the line with the ball, even if he didn’t touch it down! The children all wear rugby shirts, sponsored by Village Shuttle. and Mackersey Construction.

Kalani-A lock like his great grandfather!
