THERE was a double celebration at a Poole school after two of its rugby teams triumphed in a borough-wide tournament.
Branksome Heath Middle School’s Year 6 tag rugby team won the Poole Schools festival, organised by the police at Lytchett Rugby Club, while its Year 5 team came third.
The Year 6s are off to represent the town in the regional finals at Newbury in June, while both teams – coached by higher level teaching assistant Sue Gillingham – will go forward to the Schools Games on July 13 to celebrate the arrival of the 2012 Olympic Flame in Bournemouth.
