Johnnie Beattie with SRU President Jim Stevenson, Cartha QP's Brian Gervaise and Brian Purdie of Lexus Glasgow

This year the tournament came to the home of Cartha Queen’s Park RFC, one of the many clubs already signed up to the Champions Warriors scheme, and Glasgow back-row Johnnie Beattie went along to the jersey presentation ceremony.

The tournament gives high-class junior players the chance to continue to develop their potential in a competitive but supportive environment; a unique event which Lexus are proud to have made their own, with six regional tournaments taking place over three weekends in September and a national final on Easter Saturday 11 April 2009.

Building on the successes of the previous years’ events, the 2008/09 Lexus Junior Rugby Festival promises to be a rewarding event.

New for 2008 is the involvement of ITV local who will be filming the festivals with a view to showcasing match play on a dedicated area on the ITV Local community website.
