National Disability Tag Rugby Festival 2008
23rd September Headingley Carnegie Stadium
Leeds City Council was pleased to present the 9th National Disability Tag Rugby
Festival working closely with the Rugby Football League (RFL) and the Rugby Football
Union (RFU). It was brilliant to see so many people obviously enjoying participating
in the exciting version of Tag Rugby using a set of rules formed jointly by the RFU and RFL.
The event has continued to grow and teams attend from all over the UK. The 27 teams
were placed in three groups of junior, youth and competition teams. Junior and youth
groups played in a participation programme while the more able teams played in the
competition league with the winners having the opportunity to play a pre match game
at the England verses Samoa rugby union international at Twickenham Stadium.
The support of Headingley Carnegie Stadium staff and The Leeds Rugby Foundation
was invaluable, without their support and other key partners and volunteers the event
could not take place.
The weather was sunny and warm and all the feedback from the schools and groups was
very positive and all are looking to the 2009 event. I hope you have a great day.
