The Newcastle licence will be run by Jack Oddie and Natasha Botto.
Jack Oddie said: “Natasha and I are absolutely thrilled to bring Try Tag Rugby to Newcastle and create an inclusive, active and social community here. As locals ourselves, we know how embracing Newcastle is and once people experience the game, we’re sure hundreds will take to it making Try Tag Rugby part of the dynamic and social fabric that makes Newcastle such a brilliant and iconic city!”
Try Tag Rugby National Licensing Director, Carl Duckels said: “It’s fantastic to see Newcastle as one of the new locations that will be added to the Try Tag Rugby map this year. Having lived in Newcastle myself in the past, I know what a fantastic place it is and how friendly and fun loving its people are! When you combine this with the North East’s love of sport and getting outdoors, we think Try Tag Rugby is going to be a great fit.
“Jack and Natasha both bring lots of energy and enthusiasm to what they do. We are confident they will be excellent licence holders and are extremely excited about the potential of Try Tag Rugby Newcastle with them at the helm.”
