Peter Dolan, from Jermon Developments, the owners and developers of Springhill Shopping Centre, who sponsored the event, said, “Bangor Mini Rugby Floodlit tournament has been running for 15 years and we are delighted to be able to help them with this years tournament and help develop young local sports talent.”

Mini Convenor, Robert Lyle, said, “Mini rugby has gone through a huge expansion in the last few years at Bangor, going from around 60 players seven years ago to 170 players this year in age groups P3, P4, P5, P6, P7 and Maxi (First Form).The tournament has always been one of the highlights of the mini season as most of the kids get their first opportunity to play under lights.

“The sponsorship from Jermon on behalf of Springhill Shopping Centre is extremely important and allows our club to develop and welcome more clubs into the tournament each year.”
