This Friday, between 6 and 7.30pm the Durham Tigers will relaunch their touch ruby session at the Millennium Stadium, across the road from the Sunnydale Leisure Centre, Shildon.
Touch Rugby is a non contact form of rugby league and is open to all ages and both genders. The difference between rugby league and touch rugby is that instead of opponents physically tackling each other, the opposition is required to pass the ball to his opponent if his opponent touches him.
The club secretary, Phil Selby, said “Touch Rugby is a great way to get into rugby league, or to get fit, because it is a very energetic sport and there is still the physicality of running with the ball, scoring tries, passing and running from your opponent. So if you would like to get fit or you are interested in rugby league but not the idea of physical tackling then come along on friday.”
If you are interested in the Durham Tigers or would like more information you can either like ‘We Are Durham Tigers’ on Facebook or just turn up at Sunnydale Leisure Centre, Shildon at either: 6:30 on Tuesday Evenings.
If you are interested in our open age (16+) team at 10am on Saturday mornings or if you are interested in our junior teams, at 6pm on Friday evenings for touch rugby. “
