Sports students in Cheshire helped primary school children from 10 schools tackle rugby at a tag rugby festival.

Learners at South Cheshire College worked with professional rugby coaches while helping to run and officiate at the day designed to introduce children to the sport.

Graham Coffey, head of sport at the college, said: “This was a great event for our students to get involved with.”

The event was organised by Crewe and Nantwich School Sports Partnership (CNSSP), the Rugby Football Union and Crewe and Nantwich RUFC.
