Newport High hosts Atomic Touch Rugby

Newport High played host to teams from St Julian’s and Llanwern in a KS3 Atomic Touch tournament. This fast paced, multi-directional version of rugby tests the skills of its players and allows mixed teams to compete together. The NHS teams put on a great show and will be playing a second tournament in July. A big thanks to Jade Sansom (5x60 officer) and The WRU for making the day such an enjoyable one.

Yr 8 Advance to semi-finals

The Yr8 rugby team moved into the semi finals of the Newport School’s Cup after a nail biting victory over Duffryn 27-22. Having been let down by a number of players Newport started the game with only 14 on the pitch, however the commitment of the boys playing was fantastic. Connor Roberts scored 2 tries and a conversion for the home team and did a good job playing his first game at scrum half. Ryan Lloyd also touched down for the Black and Yellows showing excellent finishing skills to dive in at the corner. However in extra time it was Jamie Jones who, with the score level at 22-22, showed power and pace to break free and score his second and the decisive try of the match.
