Durham Tigers RL’s under 11 year old team has won a record 33 of 44 games (drawing 9 and only loosing 2) at various rugby league festivals during their 2013 season making them the most successful under 11’s of the season.
Club secretary Phil Selby said “It’s impressive that these kids can be so successful at such a young age, we always try to encourage young people into rugby and it has defiantly paid off, the next challenge is to keep them interested in rugby through their teenage years. If this can be done I think some of them have the potential to play at a professional level. Another challenge is to recruit more Under 11’s and train them to compete at this level”
