THE excitement is building amongst the Great Britain and Ireland Tag Rugby World Cup squads, with only two weeks until the squads depart for New Zealand. The journey which started in February this year with open trials is now within reach.
There will be an official launch night this Saturday 24 November for the Great Britain and Ireland Tag Rugby World Cup squads, starting at 7.30pm at the No.1 Sports Bar on City Road, Old Street.
The No.1 Sports Bar will be for the exclusive use of the Great Britain and Ireland Tag Rugby World Cup official launch night, and will feature a monster raffle, pub quiz and karaoke during the evening.
This will be the squads last fundraiser to help raise funds for their accommodation, kit and expenses for the World Cup. It will also be a chance for the London Tag Rugby community to come along and wish the squads well before they depart the following weekend. All are welcome to come along.
The Great Britain and Ireland squads feature a large Australian contingent who qualify through British or Irish heritage, including Brad Aird, Emma Becker, Jodie Bijorac, Phillip Browne, Arron Lombardo (coach), Sarah O’Neill, Tim Ross, Rachael Speare, Paula Thorn and Jay “Ringo” Wilkinson (coach).
In other news, Try Tag Rugby has always strongly promoted the social element of the sport, holding regular social outings for all players to become well acquainted.
One of the best social events of the year, the Try Tag Rugby Christmas party will take place on Friday 30 November at Phibbers, 203 Holloway Road in North London.
All of the UK Tag Rugby community are invited to party the night away at Phibbers, exclusively available to Try Tag Rugby for the evening. The Christmas party will start at 7pm and can cater for up to 400 people. Come along, join in and party away in a welcoming, friendly and social environment to celebrate the year that was.
