This year’s event, held at Hallhill Sports Centre in Dunbar on Sunday, 5 May, involved 450 to 500 primary school children from Berwick, Dunbar, Duns, Gifford, Haddington, and North Berwick. A visiting team from Merthyr in Wales and girls' teams from Dunbar, Strathendrick, and Stirling County also came together for an exhilarating day of rugby.

After playing qualifying rounds, semi-finals, and finals, the winning results are as follows: Primary 3 - Duns; Primary 4 – Haddington; Primary 5 – North Berwick; Primary 6 - Haddington; and finally, the Primary 7 winners are Berwick. Dunbar Girls scooped the top prize in their competition.

Community involvement

The Dunbar Rugby Minis Tournament, made possible by our generous sponsorship, is a prime example of community involvement. Kirsty McGill, Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, adds: “We are so proud to have supported this fun tournament for the 12th year, attracting teams from across the local area and beyond. 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. We enjoyed being involved in another fun day out for families.
