Sale Sharks held the Printerland.co.uk/Lexmark Tag Festival at Stockport Academy prior to the La Vila match last Friday.

The festival shows the continued support from Printerland.co.uk and Lexmark to develop and promote rugby throughout the North West. All Saints Primary School, Banks Lane Primary School, St Matthew's Catholic Primary School, Arden Primary School, Cale Green Primary School, Tithebarn Primary School, St. Thomas Catholic Primary School and Great Moor Junior School all took part in the tag rugby fun.

Over 100 children ranging from ages eight to eleven enjoyed the event, which was all completely funded by Printerland.co.uk and Lexmark and included complimentary tickets to see Sale Sharks v La Vila for the children and the teachers as well as free flags for all!

As guests of Printerland and Lexmark, some of the children that took part were invited onto the Edgeley Park pitch at half-time for a picture.
