Lansdowne Park’s rugby fields were packed with junior players of all shapes and sizes on Saturday. They were taking part in a Junior Rugby Festival, club sides across a wide selection of age groups taking part. Despite the chilly conditions, the youngsters were able to show their skills and enthusiasm for the game in front of friends, family and coaches.  This weekend sees the final round of matches for the younger brigade. Peter Jones took the photos.
