The Heritage U15 National Rugby Festival

A huge thank you to everyone involved in the Heritage U15 National Rugby Festival 2023!

Sponsors Drinks kick started proceedings on the Friday night, before the pool games on a rather blustery Saturday. The finals day on Sunday saw the rugby pitches and the festival village bathed in glorious sunshine. Congratulations to the worthy winners, Wellington College, who are the 2023 Heritage U15 National Rugby Festival champions!

Supporters were out in force and we thank everyone who travelled the length and breadth of the country to get to Norfolk for the fantastic festival. We are already looking forward to planning next year’s tournament!

HEADLINE SPONSOR

Very many thanks to our headline sponsor, Heritage Wills, for their generous support of the 2023 festival. It was a superb event, made possible by Stuart and his team.
