Stephen Hazley, College Head of Reddam House Bedfordview, expressed his gratitude, saying, "Tendai Mtawarira is remarkable Springbok icon whose achievements both on and off the field – his humility, sportsmanship, and dedication to the game – are an inspiration to young people everywhere. It was a privilege to have such an inspiring rugby legend motivating our young athletes to push their boundaries and excel both on and off the field. "
The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as up-and-coming athletes had the unique opportunity to interact with the rugby legend. Tendai shared his perspective, remarking, "It's a joy to be a part of events that nurture young talent and passion for rugby. Seeing the enthusiasm and determination in these aspiring players is truly inspiring. Rugby has the power to shape character and instil values that extend far beyond the game itself."
The tournament showcased fierce competition and outstanding performances, with teams displaying their skills on the field. The grand finale between Montrose Primary and Wendywood Primary captivated the audience, culminating in a well-deserved victory for Montrose Primary. Third place went to Reddam House Bedfordview and fourth place to Craighall Primary.
Reddam House Bedfordview extends its gratitude to all participating schools - Wendywood Primary, Craighall Primary, Trinity Glenvista, Edenglen, and Reddford House Northcliff. The event's success underscores the commitment to promoting sportsmanship, camaraderie, and the love for rugby among young athletes.
