Blackadder’s Come Home with the Silverware!! On Saturday 30th October, Blackadder’s attended the England Touch Roadshow being hosted by Northallerton Rugby Club and only went and won it! Blackadder’s had two players making their debut and also a player returning to play after a five year break. It was a great competition, letting players try different positions and put everything from practice […]

On Saturday 24th July the Newcastle Ravens hosted the first Northern Pride touch event at Percy Park, where a development Blackadder’s side, led by Cat won the cup.

We are working on it, but we need your patience…. Hey All, As you know the country is slowing moving away from lockdown but we’ve got away to go yet. From the government guidance, playing may be available subject to all the dependencies, at the end of March. Remember that we have to follow the rules from the governing body ETA and […]
It may be lockdown out there, but we can still exercise… Care of the Marshalls the team has been busy, whilst staying socially distant. We’ve had 7k step challenge, a strava art competition, a sun rise and sunset edition, and now there is even a work out AMRAP ladder… Remember to stay active, but those socially distance rules! Stay safe.
Return to play stage 1… As you will have seen the UK has gone to a national lock down which means we cant play, and indeed, shouldn’t be mixing at this point. From a touch point of view, we return to Stage 1 of the return to play framework. We will of course keep you informed.
As you will have seen on the news, Tier 4 means that we can currently no longer play touch. As ever, as soon as this changes, we’ll reach out via socials, and email to let everyone know we are up and running again. The team at Blackadders touch wish you all the best for a happy, healthy 2021. Cheers

Whilst we are nearly there, there are few last administrative tasks that we need to complete – but the finish line is getting close…. To help all […]
