UPPER Eden RUFC's mini-section has completed a season which has seen a number of successes.

The "established" group of players, which have been together for a number of years, competed at Under 12 level, and they were joined this year by teams at Under 7, Under 8, Under 9 and Under 10. Fixtures were played against teams in Cumbria, Lancashire and Yorkshire, including Carlisle, Penrith, Cockermouth, Kirkby Lonsdale, North Ribblesdale and Wensleydale, and all age groups scored some notable victories.

Of particular note was the Under 8's victory in the Carlisle Rugby Tournament, celebrated by their demonstration match, which acted as curtain raiser to the recent Furnes and Westmorland Trophy Final.

Next season kicks off in autumn, and Upper Eden are always looking for new players, whether they have played before, or think they would like to try. Particularly welcome will be players for the Under 13s. Training is from 10.30am to noon on Sundays, and matches also take place on Sundays. Help with transport can be arranged.
