Dollar Wins Caledonia Independent Schools Tens Tournament
This new event, held at Dollar in its inaugural year, has been designed to replace the former Independent Schools District Championships.
A Tens Rugby team comprises five forwards and five backs. Each half of a match lasts ten minutes.
John Foster, Dollar’s Director of Sport, returned from last March’s Sedbergh Tens tournament with a very positive impression that Tens was an excellent format for school players.
Dollar’s October tournament provided an excellent level of competition between the participating Caledonia schools.
All of the ties were hard-fought, partly because the changing weather conditions introduced elements of unpredictability.
Those present couldn’t have asked for a better, more competitive final to the first staging of the event.
Caledonia selectors were present, ahead of a January fixture where a Independent Schools XV will play a Caledonia team of club and state school players.
