Touch Rugby
2 WEEK WARNING!
We are now 2 weeks into the warm up which means that there is now only 2 weeks left to complete your application forms and finalise your teams.
This year the membership is £20 per youth player and £30 per senior player.
As always, it’s a strict no play no play policy, please don’t assume that we are able to give any exceptions because as we all know - refusal often offends!!

Completed applications will be accepted by Sandie or Rob only when accompanied by full pay payment, cash or cheque made payable to MRFC. Please attach your payment securely to your form or place it in an envelope.
Additionally, all teams must complete a team application form, and nominate a referee and team captain. All players listed on a team applications MUST have completed a membership form and paid their membership.
Any members who are not in a team are more than welcome and will be placed in a pre-existing team.
Any questions regarding the above information can be addressed to either Sandie Thompson or Rob Rice
On a final note, for the summer league to start as planned, on 25th May, we need you as club members and touch players to do your bit, we are prepared to do all the work to get things planned but we are not able to organise matches without knowing who is in which team and who has paid etc.
THEREFORE………………… please, please, please complete your forms and pay
by Wed 18th May at the very latest. Every year we have to register and get
the boring bit out of the way so that we can enjoy the rest of summer touch
season. If you cannot do your part, we cannot do ours and the season cannot
start on time.
Touch Rugby - we're back!
Yes folks it’s back for the summer. Time to put your gum shields away and grab your sunnies as touch rugby is back.
This years’ format starts with a four week warm up at Priestfields commencing on Wednesday 27th April, 7pm – 8.30pm. This will be a chance to refresh your memories and brush up your skills and fitness as we prepare for the league matches. No need to form a team, just turn up and play, all are welcome and there will be plenty of experienced players willing to teach newcomers the ropes. We are once again on the middle pitch at the club.
Then, from Wednesday 25th May at 7.30pm the challenge begins……… Structured competition with prearranged fixtures for 8 week league. Maximum of 14 players per team.
Currently there will only be one league but if there are enough social teams we are more than happy to accommodate and run a social league also. If not then social teams will play in the main league with a handicap advantage.
Please note all junior players must school year 8 or above, any queries please contact Sandie Thompson or Rob Rice.
Following the completion of the league there will be a one off Cup competition that will be open for all teams to enter on Wednesday 20th July.
So, everyone is welcome and many are willing but has your team got what it takes to beat last seasons league winners – the Right Hand Wizards? Or can the Right Hand Wizards withstand the challenge of the Exiles (who have been practising all winter!). Will either team be toppled by the Vets? Or will a new team steal all the glory…………..?
