There were 42 teams involved in the tournament at Rosehill, including 12 in the ladies’ section.

Competitions were seeded to even it out and continuous sunshine drew the spectators in. With the emphasis on enjoyment more than winning, Crowthorne RFC took the honours in the top-seed group.

Marshy’s Mad Pluckers, sponsored by Crown on the Bridge, Caversham, took the Plate competition.

Reading Abbey Ladies were beaten by eventual group winners Worcester RFC by a single try.

Reading Abbey hold open training sessions at Rosehill every Tuesday and Thursday from 7.30pm.

Meanwhile, Reading Abbey RFC will host a London Irish Rugby Camp on Wednesday, August 6 to Friday, August 8 for players aged 6-14.

Those attending will receive three days of top-quality coaching by the London Irish community team and will also get the chance to meet some Exiles players.

London Irish fly half and England international, Shane Geraghty said: “This camp will provide players with an opportunity to improve their game and show the London Irish coaches what they can do.”

All players attending will receive a match day ticket to a London Irish game at Madejski Stadium as well as a London Irish gift.
