Enfield Ignatians had to settle for fourth in the Men’s Early Summer Tag Rugby League after losing 13-9 to Rub And Tag in the third place play-off final at Finsbury Park.

The blue and golds reached this stage after winning three and drawing two of their seven league games, but Rug And Tag proved better on the night and were deserving winners.

But the quality of teams playing in London Two-North-West was underlined as Tabard, who play in the same division as Enfield Ignatians, won the Grand Final after edging past Milner-Skudders 7-6.

Ignatians will now turn their attentions to the pre-season which begins on Tuesday, July 5. The twice-weekly sessions also comprise a Thursday session and begin at 7.30pm.

New recruits to the club are invited to make initial contact via eirfcsocialmedia@gmail.com.
