WALKING RUGBY As you read through the programme you may see a theme appearing. If you don't let me explain. We are an inclusive club that believe in rugby for all - and that's where Walking Rugby comes in. It's a game of touch rugby played at a more sedate pace. There isn't any age or gender limitations and even if you haven't played any kind of rugby before you will be made most welcome. We find that somedays the banter is better than the rugby but it all adds to the fun. We have been playing every Monday evening for about 5 years now with players coming and going and a committed hard core that are dedicated to having fun. We play amongst ourselves and there’s nothing to prove. Of course, no game of rugby can ever be completely non- competitive and we find that the game gets so much bigger in the bar afterwards! We have attracted players from different sporting and non-sporting backgrounds with our oldest player being 76 who started last year having never played rugby in his life. Simarly, with some of our lady players who said that they love playing but enjoy the banter just as much. We are always looking for new players so if you fancy turning out give me a ring or just turn up on any Monday night at 7.00pm (excluding bank holidays). Give it a try you never know you may like it. Yours in rugby, Benty. Alan Bent //President//Eccles RFC
