Chase Bridge Children on Song for Rugby World Cup
Chase Bridge children have written and recorded an inspirational song ‘Try!’ for the rugby world cup with ex-England international and world cup winner Will Greenwood and songwriter Marcel Pusey giving them some help. The children hope to raise money from the song to help the children’s rugby charity the Wooden Spoon. Chase Bridge School is next door to Twickenham Stadium and the rugby-mad children worked with Marcel to compose a song that celebrates rugby’s core values and inspires the England team this September.
The song called Try! was released on the 17th September 2015 and is available for viewing and download in support of the Wooden Spoon children’s rugby charity:

The children said, ‘I love our song!’; ‘I was really nervous when we started recording, but it was great hearing the song through the headphones’; ‘I hope lots of people download the song so we can help the Wooden Spoon.’
Headteacher Andrew King said, ‘The children have really enjoyed working on the song and creating their own dance moves for the video with the teachers.’
Songwriter Marcel Pusey said, ‘The children have had some great ideas. It has been a pleasure to work with them.’
Ex-England and Lions rugby world cup winner Will Greenwood said (in our video!), ‘England, Twickenham, 2015. This time it’s our year. Come on England!’
The Wooden Spoon is the UK’s leading grant-making charity dedicated to helping disadvantaged and disabled children and young people through rugby. They are one of the country’s largest funders of respite and medical treatment centres, sensory rooms, specialist playgrounds, sports activity areas and community based programmes in the UK. They are inspired by our rugby heritage and have been able to help over a million children and young people through life-changing projects since they were founded in 1983. The Wooden Spoon receives no Government funding and relies on the commitment and enthusiasm of volunteers based all over the country who raise money for their own community and fund projects and causes local to them.
Brilliant. Fantastic song and video for a wonderful cause. Well done Chase Bridge!
