Former players and members of Bonteheuwel's Thistles RFC club hosted its inaugural Youth Day rugby 7s junior tournament at the Metropolitan sports field, on Monday, June 16.
The mini-tournament, played in wet and slippery conditions, featured four primary schools of Bonteheuwel competing for a floating trophy in the age groups under-9 and under-11.
The participating schools that took to the pitch in what the organisers hope will become an annual event were Mimosa, Bergsig, Boundary, and Klipfontein primary schools.
