Dunbar Rugby Club’s 12th annual minis tournament, sponsored by Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, attracted up to 500 youngsters to Hallhill Sports Centre.
Teams represented were Berwick, Dunbar, Duns, Gifford, Haddington, and North Berwick as well as visitors from Merthyr, Wales.

Results were:
Primary 3 – Duns; Primary 4 – Haddington; Primary 5 – North Berwick; P 6 – Haddington; P7 – Berwick.
Dunbar girls took top prize in their competition.
Kirsty McGill, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, said: “We are so proud to have supported this fun tournament for the 12th year,
“It was also brilliant to see the Dunbar minis tournament being extended to girls and we are naturally delighted that Dunbar girls picked up a win.”
Neil MacPherson, spokesperson for Dunbar Rugby Club and organiser of this year’s event, added: “It is great to see this event continue to grow because it’s such a great advert for community sport and families enjoying a great day out together.”
