25th April - Smawthorne : Thu Apr 09, 2009 4:12 pm  

For those who haven't seen / received a email about it.

There will be a joint Tag and Masters Festival at Smawthorne RLFC (Castleford). The Tag tournament will be in the morning – about a 10:30 start, and will last for a couple of hours. The number of teams that confirm will determine how many games we get to play. All are welcome and this is maybe an opportunity to invite a few friends or family who have not played before!!

There will then be food and drink available and the opportunity to stay at the club and watch some of the masters games.

I appreciate this is fairly last minute but think it would be a great opportunity for as many of us as possible to get together and experience the ‘new’ rules.

Please let me know if you can enter a team or even if just a couple of you want to come and give it a go!!

I've had some interest from a group of people who are interested in taking part in some of the festivals this year. Not sure if they'll be at this one yet, but its another positive step

It was a really good day out, with Doncaster Tollbar running out as winners in the 6 team tournament. We've got some good shots from the day and they'll be put on both our club website and the league's once we've gone through and sorted them out (including one where Mark made sure his photo was taken before scoring).

On top of Doncaster, Knottinglet and Smawthorne also entered teams along side the TML teams, Rochdale, Featherstone and Wakefield.

I hope the two Rochdale lads are ok.

a couple of other action shots. I think these will make a great shots of posters advertising tag rugby (if we can touch them up enough.

sorry that leigh wasnt there as we had already had a game planned for today the 26th down at celtic and it would be hard to ask the lads and have enough response to put 2 teams out in 2 day with them being long distances

No worries Si.

For anyone who is interested the next one takes place at Leeds Road Playing fields, Huddersfield, on the 9th May.

We are hoping to get quite a lot of touch players down to this one, so it'll be nice to get at least another 2 or 3 teams down joining in.
