Entries are now open for the Wardhadaway Summer of Touch, with the eight-week league running every Wednesday night from May 29 onwards at Kingston Park Stadium.
Teams of six, including two females, can be drawn from squads of any size, playing weekly fixtures at Kingston Park culminating in finals night, where they will play for the cup, shield, plate and bowl.
A fun and friendly variation of rugby suitable for men and women of all abilities, touch rugby offers an outlet to improve fitness, have a great time exercising as a group and enjoy a regular social gathering with friends.
Played in a fun atmosphere with music playing, and food and drink offers in the Tap & Tackle bar, entry for the eight-week season is priced at £260 per team.
Included in the entry fee is an end-of-tournament meal on finals night, with entry open to clubs, businesses and wider groups of family and friends. This year also sees the return of the Beach touch rugby festival at Longsands Beach at Tynemouth on August 3.
Senior Community Officer Gavin Beasley said ‘We had nearly 300 people take part across the eight weeks last year and we would like to say a huge thank you to Wardhadaway who are once again supporting the touch rugby competition. It’s great to see people of all abilities getting involved on a Wednesday evening and meeting new people or spending some social time with people they work with.’
