Demonstrating sleight-of-hand and a turn of speed Clayton's Primary School triumphed at a tag rugby festival hosted by the Bucks New University.

Following a week of coaching from university students, children from schools across Buckinghamshire put their skills to the test on the Wasps' Adams Park pitch. 

Practice made perfect for the youngsters from Claytons who showed signs they could be rugby starlets of the future.

Not overawed by the occasion they set about the opposition with vim and vigour, taking home the trophy with well merited performances. 

Sally Mapley, partnership development manager for Wye Valley School Sports Partnership, said: "The rugby festival today at Adams Park was a great end to the weekly coaching the children have received at school.  

"The Bucks New University students provided a wonderful, and well organized experience for over 60 young people where they were able to demonstrate their new rugby skills. 
"We are looking forward to working with the next set of Bucks students next year."

The winners from Wendover Road Bourne End received their trophy and medals from the Wasps mascot Sting.
