YOUNGSTERS from Worcester enjoyed an unforgettable day as they took to the field to play tag rugby in front of more than 65,000 fans at the EDF Energy Cup final between Leicester Tigers and Ospreys at Twickenham.

Pupils from Lyppard Grange Primary School, in Warndon Villages, were there to represent Worcester Warriors, who have been working with the school in the EDF Energy National Schools Rugby Programme.

A team from the school got their big chance after winning a rugby festival at Sixways as part of the programme, which aims to introduce 112,000 children to the sport by July 2009.

EDF Energy's Louise Poole said: "It was great to see the future of rugby union represented by children from across the country, including youngsters from the Lyppard Grange Primary School."

The children, aged nine and 10, also took part in a parade around the pitch before the final.
