Newcastle Falcons are once again holding their Touch Rugby leagues this summer, and due to a massive increase in demand the Billingham area will now run Touch leagues.

Touch rugby is one of the fastest growing sports in the UK, and itis a non-contact sport in which both male and females participate. Due to its fun nature and social atmosphere, leagues become quickly oversubscribed.

Held at Billingham Rugby Club, the leagues are open to groups and individuals who would like to get active, have fun and meet new friends.

Beginners are welcome and there are free taster sessions available. The Billingham league begins on Thursday 29th May. The league runs for 6 weeks and teams who win the respective leagues will compete against each other for the chance to represent Newcastle Falcons at the Middlesex 7s Tournament at Twickenham.
