Who wants to play Touch Rugby at Twickenham??

Calling all rugby players….

Do you fancy a chance to play at Twickenham?

If so this is perfect for all of you plus any friends you may think maybe interested.

This summer the 12 Premiership clubs including Saracens have joined together with TouchRugby.com to bring you the Mixed Premiership National Touch Cup.

Old Albanians RFC will host the Saracens Mixed Touch League and provide an opportunity for all local players to take part and be in with a chance of making the final which will be played at Twickenham during the Middlesex sevens or London Double Header. Teams will compete over an 8 week period to battle it out for a place at Twickenham. Squads will consist of up to 10-14 players of which six will play at any one time with at least two women on the pitch at all times.

The league is scheduled to start Wednesday 23rd May and will run through till July 11th where in the final week the Saracens Touch League Champions will be crowned.

What if I’ve never played before?

Don’t worry, Saracens and touchrugby.co.uk have organised a TRY IT session, this will take place in the week leading up to the first evening of the competition and is an opportunity to gain an understanding of the rules, regulations and game play under the guidance of TouchRugby.co.uk and Saracens staff.

This is not a compulsory part of package but is recommended for new players to the game and is at no extra cost to you.

How do I enter a team?

If you are interested in entering a team in this year’s league or require further information please visit www.touchrugby.co.uk or contact richardgregg@saracens.net

Please note that the league is for those over 16 years of age.
