The Maples Buccaneers beat the Maples Pigs Trotters, 10 to 8 in The U16s Girls’ Tag League at the South Sound Rugby Ground on Saturday.

“We have around 25 girls in the programme and we are playing a modified Tag Rugby,” explained coach Caroline Deegan. “The girls have been split into two teams the Maples Buccaneers and the Maples Pigs Trotters. This league has been set up to introduce young Caymanian women to the world of 7s Rugby which is now an
Olympic sport.

“We are hoping to develop this programme so we can enter a team in 2020. Each week we introduce another rule from 7s rugby.

We have covered Scrums, Line Outs and next week we are introducing Contact,” Ms Deegan said.

The score so far in the league is: Maples Pigs Trotters – 2 wins, 1 draw; Maples Buccaneers 2 wins
