Over a thousand young rugby players from across the United Kingdom are gearing up to take part in the Bournemouth Rugby Festival at Chapel Gate this weekend. The festival, which has been eagerly anticipated by players and fans alike, promises to be a thrilling showcase of youth rugby talent.
On Saturday, the festival will kick off with the older players taking center stage. Teams from the Under 13’s to the Under 15’s will be competing for the prestigious winners’ cups. The Sunday will be the turn of the younger players, with teams from the Under 7’s to the Under 12’s taking to the field. The first games will kick off just after 0930 on both days.
While Saturday’s matches will be fiercely contested, Sunday’s games will be all about showcasing the values of rugby, with no winner but rugby. Players will be encouraged to show the TREAD values of rugby, which stands for Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline, and Sportsmanship.
The Bournemouth Rugby Festival is not just about the rugby, it’s also a great opportunity to bring the community together. Spectators are encouraged to come down and show their support for their favorite team. It’s a chance to see some of the best young rugby players in the country, as well as to enjoy a fun day out with family and friends.
Organizers of the festival have expressed their gratitude to the local community for their support, especially their festival sponsor, Fortitudo. Without their help, events like this would not be possible.
So, if you’re a rugby fan, or just looking for a great day out, come down to Chapel Gate this weekend and experience the thrill of the Bournemouth Rugby Festival. It promises to be a celebration of youth rugby that you won’t want to miss!
