Hampshire Yr 8 Boys  Rugby Development Festival Supported by Wave 105 

We are proud to announce a new partnership between Hampshire RFU and Wave 105.

Our aim is to spread the word to attract new/returning players of all ages to the game, as well as additional social media marketing which we are hoping will help with the transition of players from school to club rugby. 

You may wish to listen in on your journey to the tournament.

All coaches from Hampshire Clubs are welcome to attend to see what great rugby goes on at these Festivals!

The following schools have entered the Yr 8 Development Festival that will be held on Tuesday 5^th March at Southampton RFC Test Park, Redbridge Lane, Southampton, SO16 9BP   

Special thanks to Solent University for allowing us to use their football pitches and to the ground staff for maintaining and marking the pitches which provide such a positive playing experience for the children.
