    Harrogate rugby club's under 15s have won the International Rugby Festival Tournament in Lisbon.

    The 'Harrogate Raptors' won the event in Portugal, beating Welsh side, Cwmbram, 12-7 in the final.

    Matthew Grant, Harrogate rugby's under 15s group manager said:

    "It was a life changing experience for the kids. They won gracefully and represented the club really well. There was no fighting or trouble and everyone was well behaved.
    "It was great that we brought 25 players and everyone got some minutes."
