London to host biggest Tag Rugby Festival in the UK!

By Phillip Browne
THE team at Try Tag Rugby have now opened registrations for the third annual London Tag Rugby Championships which will take place on Saturday, 18 August at the East London Rugby Club in West Ham.

The 2012 London Tag Rugby Championships will be the biggest and best to date, with overseas teams confirmed, an easily accessible venue on the Tube network and an onsite bar and BBQ. There will be a party atmosphere and a DJ lined up to whip the London Tag Rugby community into a post game frenzy!

Teams will take part in mixed and men’s competitions across two divisions. There will be a Champions League (to crown the best mixed and men’s teams in London) for any teams which made an A Grade Grand Final throughout 2012 (or equivalent outside of London), and a social grade open to all other teams. Each team which takes part will get a guaranteed 90 minutes of game time. Already confirmed for the mixed Champions League are Ireland’s 2011 Champion team, the Bircroft Panthers. The Panthers are also entering a team in the mixed social grade as are a team from northern England.

It’s going to be a cracking tournament and one not to be missed! All details on how to enter a team can be found at TryTagRugby.com

Meanwhile, Late Summer Tag Rugby registrations in London & Reading are now open. Late Summer competitions all commence this week and are expected to break the current record season (Early Summer 2012) participation figures of 142 teams!

If you would like to get involved in one of the fastest growing sports in London, new team and individual registrations are welcome. This is a great chance to develop a network of friends if you are new to London.
