Another cracking night for a game of touch, with 28 keen people battling the Baltic conditions to produce some fast paced games🥶❄🌨. Shout out to the refs for keeping us in check as always.

Unfortunately we had 3 drop outs during today.... Boo 👎 which unfortunately meant it was too short notice for some on the reserve list. So in future guys please try and let us know by the Sunday.

Never played Touch rugby before?
Touch rugby is a fantastic way to keep fit or get fit, without really thinking about it. It's a lot easier to play a game with your mates for an hour than run for an hour. Sign up, come down and try it, we guarantee you'll love it 😁.

We train every Monday 6pm-7pm on one of the few Rugby 365 AGP Pitches in the north east of England (all weather training guaranteed 🌧☃️), flood lite pitches 💡 ✅, and have an experienced managerial team to make things run smoothly as possible and ensure all risk assessments and covid procedures are in place to ensure a safe training environment for all👩‍💼👨‍💼.

- If you can not make it after registering, please give 24 hours notice, so we can open the place up to someone else on the reserve list.

'Why I Play Touch'
This week we will meet our Captain and Vice Captain.
First up is Lesley. She has been captain for more years than we can remember, but she always has a game plan and leads by example to give each game 110% effort. If you are lacking motivation speak to Lesley, she is full of ideas to help get others on track. But don't get on the wrong side of her! Burpees or other crossfit moves are normally involved.
