8pm til 9pm behind the KC.

Great bunch of lads comming weekly now. Its just for fun so fitness levels are a tad varied. Gotta say though.......I lasted the full hour last night and felt like I could've don a bit more too

I lasted longer than Wayne Jackson (ex KR) scored two trys and got flattened by Chico Jackson (its touch Chico ffs LOL). That was actually an honour though.





Kev Flanagan (Flash's lad) always has a good run out too....He has his dads flair...no question



If anyone fancies a go.....again, just for fun and to get fit, just turn up......pay £3.50 (we have to pay for the pitch......any extra goes to 'Life For A Kid' ). and join in!

What are you gonna do if 300 people turn up?

hire a couple more pitches and have a tournement

The biggest subs bench in history!!!!!!!!!!!!



Seriously though.......When this crap weather breaks, we will probably take our 'operation' onto west park...or somewhere like. We will still charge to play....It is afterall a charity we run as well. But that way, we can play a bit longer too (if we are up to it

). Its great fun, getting fit and playing alongside a few ex-pro's. If more than we need turn up....erm.....we'll cross that bridge. I'm sure Dean Hoggard has a 'plan' ?????

I could quite fancy it myself, but at you already have 18-20 and 4 or 5 more have expressed an interest, it might already be getting to saturation point. No point in loads turning up and there being no room to move.

like Chewie says, would cross that if it came to it but could get a bigger pitch (currently only usea half pitch)

And there will always be people missing each week with work etc

It's a pity that I live away from Hull, I would have been well up for this. Though I haven't really played much rugby in the past, mainly in PE, and I missed a lot of that due to broken bones (I'm well known for my lack of spacial awareness).

I know it's open to pretty much all ages (16+ for safety, I presume), but what's the average age that you have going?

think im the youngest and im 35 lol

Ha, I'd feel a bit out of place, then, no offence intended.

i quite fancy a go at this

Just turn up......You'll know who we are straight away.......We have the oval ball. and at eight o'clock....we can be seen pushing the soccer goals to one side!!



To be honest.....(and it shows)....I've just turned 44, and havent played rugby since school.....i've found it so easy to get involved. Mainly cos it isnt full contact (

)....and to see the varying skill levels is quite interesting, especially with the ex-pro's still trying to bust a tackle LOL..... I was a bit 'worried' about showing myself up.....but theres no-one there that is gonna get at ya for dropping a high ball or knocking on......as I said...its just a bit of fun away from the telly on a Wednesday evening!!!!

you may be interested in putting a team into my gala day in july then,im doing the touch rugby again seen as it was a great success last year,will be played along side amateur games at different age groups,more info to follow in the next few weeks.

may pop along myself

I do fancy it. Used to play on a Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Is this still on tonight?

Yes.
And Lucytheconverted is guest referee tonight.

as far as i know, yes.

We normally have the far pitch (one nearest the emergency road)

Is that in case ambulances are required?

I will pop along to this if its ok, wont know anybody but really fancy it.

cant play full contact due to work etc etc anymore so would be a good laugh and perhaps help me loose and inch or two!

Same here. I think there might be a few new people tonight, so at least we won't be alone.

Should be fine

Didnt there used to be a big league/tournement played off cott rd back in the 90's ?
mite pop along sometime (baby sitting tonight !

)

I know I may sound mushy here but I think this is superb !!
Strangers meeting up to become friends all through a Rugby League forum.
Make love not war people and enjoy yourselves. I know its only touch rugby but please, look after each other !




Peace Out !!

This sounds really interesting. How long is it for? How many peeps nrmally turn up?

i`m gunna turn up.....but may need an ambulance after 10 mins..full of cold..smoke my head off and i`m generally unfit but definately willing to have ago
