REIGATE GRAMMAR U16 TOUR TO DUBAI
October half term 2008

The Reigate Squad is pictured (below) after the first match versus Dubai College, the strongest  rugby school in the UAE.

The Reigate boys were hosted by their DC counterparts for the first two nights.

There were plenty of opportunities for sun, sand and swimming; and a morning touch rugby competition on the beach in the shadow of the iconic  Burj Al Arab hotel.

Reigate also played Abu Dhabi RFC and took the opportunity to visit the incredible new mosque.

Their last rugby action was at 7he Sevens, the facility built for the RWC Sevens 2009 and Dubai Sevens. They played a three way tournament versus Dubai Exiles and English College.

The boys still had time to venture out into the desert and experience a roller coaster ride on the dunes..

“Sport Arabia, a company that specialises in rugby tours to Dubai, recently brought Reigate Grammar School across and the whole thing was very successful. Bruce Evans organises fixtures, accommodation, transport, logistics, excursions - basically everything.”
