MINI RUGBY STARS ENJOY MAXOL PRIMARY

SCHOOLS FESTIVAL AT KINGSPAN STADIUM

The festival was organised in a pool (group)

format with teams playing at least three

games. The standard of play was very

high, with lots of skill and free flowing rugby

on display. Many of the participants will

be hoping to follow in the footsteps of the

current Ulster stars such as Cave, Henry

and Andrew Trimble who also participated in

the festival.

Speaking following the four day festival

at Kingspan Stadium, Kevin Paterson,

Group Commercial Manager, Maxol Group

said: “We were delighted to welcome so

many young rugby players who had the

opportunity to take part in this festival

at such a wonderful stadium. Maxol’s

sponsorship with Ulster Mini Rugby really

demonstrates our commitment to grassroots

rugby and to serving the local communities.”

Leading forecourt and convenience retailer,

Maxol is the title sponsor of the Ulster Mini

Rugby Programme. As well as the Primary

Schools Festival, club grounds across the

Province host similar events over the course

of the season. The Maxol Mini Rugby festivals

attract thousands of young players, offering

them the opportunity to develop their rugby

skills and meet their Ulster Rugby heroes.

Mini Rugby is the introductory level of the

sport throughout Ulster, in which boys and

girls aged 6-12 gain their first taste of rugby

and begin to learn the basic skills.
