Minor Festival and Junior Cup make for a great weekend of rugby!

Rugby Ontario had a busy weekend as both the Minor Festival and Junior Cup Days took place at Fletcher’s Field in Markham, Ontario. Minor Festival Day concluded the rugby season for ages Under-8, Under-10 and Under-12 on Saturday, August 26, while Junior Cup Day did the same for Under-16 and Under-18 Boys and Girls divisions on Sunday, August 27. On top of Junior Cup, Under-14 teams competed in a final festival.
In total, more than 2000 players participated in the weekend’s festivities, representing 135+ teams from across the province.

Congratulations to all teams on great seasons and a special thanks to the players, volunteers, coaches and officials who made the weekend possible.
The Junior Cup Champions are as follows:
U16 Girls – Belleville Bulldogs
U16 Boys – Toronto Saracens

U18 Girls – Crusaders
U18 Boys – Oshawa Vikings
