Family Touch Rugby has been a huge success this summer, with sunshine, smiles, and plenty of rugby. It’s been brilliant to see grandparents, parents, and children all out on the pitch together enjoying the game.

This year also saw the introduction of Girls T1 rugby, giving players a chance to learn a new format with fresh rules and plenty of fun. As part of celebrating girls’ rugby—and with the Women’s World Cup just around the corner—the RFU kindly gifted our players some Barbie stash, which was very well received!

Now the focus turns to the new season:

  • Ravens (Girls U12–U18): Training returns on Friday 22nd August at 6pmSee all return to rugby dates

  • Minis (U6–U11): Training returns on Sunday 7th September at 10am. New players are always welcome, with four free taster sessions available—just come along and join in. Our Team Managers will be on hand to help get you started. Find out more

We can’t wait to see everyone back on the pitches very soon!
