Masters Competiition

The club will field a team in the Masters Competition in 2011.

Some of the benefits of playing Masters rugby include:
  • No contested scrums
  • No lifting in the line-out
  • No formal training – important for those who have other commitments
  • Unlimited, rolling subs
  • Everyone that turns up gets a run.
  • Being over 35 is not compulsory – teams are given some leeway with underage players.
