Forty five teams battle it out for Winter Tag Rugby domination

By Phillip Browne

The Late Winter Try Tag Rugby competitions kicked off last week across the capital with a record 45 teams (over 500 players) braving the colder weather to battle it out across five different venues.

The Autumn Balham champions, Scrum & Coke are the early leaders in the Borough mixed competition with Champions of Capua on top in the men’s league at the same venue.

Seasoned veterans, Rub & Tag lead at Wood Green with Saints & Taggers off to a good start at Rotherhithe. Moves Like Tagger are the front runners at Barnes with The Frosties on top at Bermondsey.

If you wish to play it’s still not too late to get amongst the action as there is room to join teams at Barnes, Rotherhithe (females only) & Wood Green.

Try Tag Rugby are currently in the process of hiring three competition supervisors and an administration officer on a contract basis starting in March/April in time for the busy summer period. These roles would suit Aussie sports enthusiasts who would like to make their mark in sports event management.

There is also opportunity to join the Try Tag Rugby refereeing ranks. Refereeing Tag Rugby is a great way to get fit, stay involved and have plenty of fun. All information on employment and refereeing opportunities with Try Tag Rugby can be found at Trytagrugby.com .

Meanwhile, registrations are now open for the Spring competition (4March). If you would like to get involved in one of the fastest growing sports in London, new team and individual registrations are welcome.
