The Final Fixture of 2013/2014 was a classic

Kendal hosted the first ever Buzz The Hornet Festival on the 27th April and were delighted to welcome Tartleton Terminators, Glossop Gladiators, Tynedale Titans, North Ribblesdale Rhinos and Billingham Bulldogs. We had 6 Clubs from 6 Counties and everyone came with a ‘Festival’ attitude.

Kendal fielded 3 equal strength teams, Hornets Havoc, Hornets Swarm and Boss Hornets – as we have done all season, every player in each team got even game time.
It was hard to believe that the players had only been together for 7 months and until Sept 2013 most hadn’t played contact rugby before.

As a group, they tackled, passed, ran, evaded, supported, rucked, ripped, mauled and scored tries all morning.

We then had a breather whilst we met Mark Jones from Sale Sharks and watched Sharky taking on Buzz on an Assault Course challenge – a challenge that Buzz won for Kendal !

After lunch, the games recommenced, with more tackles, passes, running, evasion, supporting, rucking, ripping, mauling and try scoring.

As a final treat, we finished with a mass game of Bulldogs, with the sight of 1 player taking on 49 players being a joy to behold.

The day was a great success, with the U10’s and Kendal Hornets making a whole new set of rugby friends. It all bodes well for next season, when the initial plans are already in place to open up the Festival format to other agegroups.

The day couldn’t have gone ahead without the efforts of a lot of people ‘behind the scenes’. They are to numerous to mention individually, but the committee members, members of the Senior Club, Senior players and Wasps all contributed to a wonderful days rugby – thank you one and all.
