ON THE DAY

Teams are welcome to arrive onsite from 09:30 to set up gazebos/picnic chairs, etc. with the first games scheduled to start at 10:30. Play will conclude by 16:00 – so lots of time for refreshments afterwards.

The aim of the day is to play fun and competitive Tag Rugby, against lots of new teams from across the region’s different nights, in a tournament style competition. This is a great opportunity to bond further as a Tag Rugby team, make new friends in the region and challenge yourselves athletically.

Teams will be given a pre-planned schedule for the morning, accumulating in win/lose/draw points collated over lunch. After lunch, the competition will split into Cup and Plate playoffs, with winners and ‘players of the tournament’ picking up silverware and prizes.

The onsite clubhouse will be serving hot and cold food all day to keep you energised between matches. Players are welcome to bring their own snacks or picnics. After the final whistle has blown, the social after-match will take place onsite at the bar – cold drinks, good people, and the kind of Sunday that makes the working week worth it! The clubhouse is recently renovated, has a beautiful and welcoming decked area and plenty of picnic tables on the grass to enjoy a few drinks with your team mates. There is ample room inside the bar if the weather is against us, so no need to worry.

Spectators in the form of friends, family and well behaved dogs are welcome free of charge at the tournament.

Alcohol will only be served to non-players during the tournament. Once out of the tournament players are able to purchase alcohol. No alcohol will be permitted to be brought on site.
