On the Sunday, October 8, an exciting rugby match is set to take place as Newcastle Falcons prepare to go head-to-head with Caldy in what promises to be an intense clash during the fifth round of the Premiership Cup.

What’s even more remarkable is the vibrant youth rugby scene that’s flourishing. The first festival of the season is gearing up, boasting a staggering 85 teams and over 1000 enthusiastic players from the under 9’s and under 10’s.

This event is a testament to the growing interest and talent in the sport at a grassroots level. However, the festivities don’t stop at the rugby field.

Newcastle Rugby Foundation has a jam-packed schedule for the day. Besides the exhilarating matches, attendees can look forward to a multitude of activities that promise to keep everyone entertained.

Some of the day’s highlights will include a fun fair, which will be open to all, face painters and hair braiders, a brand-new fan zone, a pre-match parade for all participants of the festival and player appearances.

Perhaps most intriguing, there’s a very special announcement you won’t want to miss. It’s an event that promises to bring an extra layer of excitement and anticipation to an already action-packed day. So, mark your calendars for Sunday, October 8, to see what we have in store.
