We are a group of mostly over 50's who wanted to be involved in a team sport. Many of us used to play rugby and so we started walking rugby.

No previous experience is necessary. Males and female walkers welcome as well as under 50. We award a 'walker of the week' trophy. The bar is open after training. We have started looking for interclub games but these are just for fun.
