Wednesday, 4th of March was a day for QUESS Rugby. Doha Collage (DC) hosted and organised both U12 and U13 Boys’ Touch Rugby tournaments. The SEK team of Tag and Touch Rugby travelled to DC to participate in the only annual QUESS rugby event for U12 Boys’ Touch Rugby.

On the first game SEK faced DC. SEK boys showed some initial apprehension as this was their debut in a rugby competition. However, they responded really well to the opposition, and improved their performance on the second half of game. DC managed to score two tries, signing off with a win of 2-0 over SEK.

On the second game SEK managed to show their ability both at team-level and individual-level. With the boys clearly more reassured of their skills and ability, SEK managed to score four tries against the side of Sherborne International School Qatar to win 4-0. Tries were scored by: Mark Elsonbaty, Daniel García, Adrián García, Jamie Pombo.

Only three international schools took part on the QUESS U12 Touch Rugby Tournament 2014-2015. Results: DC won both their games, winning the champions’ trophy; SEK Qatar were Runners Up; Sherborne Qatar finished in 3rd place.

Keep practicing Rugby! Go Team!
