The event – named in honour of late Hawcoat club stalwart Jeff Simm – is in its third year, although this was the first time a youth festival had been run alongside the open age tournament.
It also saw the two codes of rugby come together, with Roose Pioneers opening the day’s proceedings with a rugby league festival for the under-six, under-eights and under-10s age groups.
Hawcoat then held a rugby union festival which included teams from Millom and Furness playing at under-12s level, with the success of both being hailed.
“It was amazing with the teams turning up and everybody coming to support them, and we took a chance with adding the youth teams this time and it went really well,” said organiser and Jeff Simm’s daughter Michelle.
“We’d not done the youth teams before, so it was nice a rugby league club and a rugby union club could come together and work together that way.
“It was nice for clubs to come together and show rugby league and rugby union can come together, and hold a morning full of fun and rugby.”
