Match Preview

Royston RUFC Vets are playing Hammersmith & Fulham Vets in the curtain raiser match for the The England v Ireland Legends game this year on the evening of Friday 16th March at the Twickenham Stoop.

The Club is Honoured to be part of this showcase of rugby in support of various charities. Royston Rugby Club is a local ‘grass routes’ club that aims to make rugby accessible to as many people as possible in the community whether male, female, adult or child. We offer contact and non-contact rugby in a friendly supportive environment.

The Club have been asked to support this event due to its success in developing rugby in the local area and ongoing support of the game in general.

Lee Fleming commented:
“This is an honour and a major opportunity for our club to have fun and put something back into the game we all love”

The whole event is to raise funds for various injured players charities so the Royston Players are looking for support from the local community to help make the day a success.

You can help support the team and players via a just giving page and selecting the individual you would like to sponsor.
