It’s a feast of rugby as Haringey Rhinos host community open day
Haringey Rhinos are hosting a family open day at New River sports ground in Wood Green on Saturday, featuring rugby activities for the whole community.
Starting at 11am, the morning will feature mini rugby training sessions, skills drills, kicking competitions, games of British bulldog and rugby relay challenges to introduce new players to the sport.
In addition, the club’s Under-16s will be playing a pre-season warm-up match against local rivals Hampstead, kicking off at 12.30pm.
Haringey are launching a women’s team this year for the first time, and there will be a number of fun ‘Give Rugby a Go’ sessions on Saturday aimed at girls and ladies who might be interested in rugby and joining the club.
The afternoon culminates in a men’s trial fixture against the visiting Beccles Bulls at 3pm, in which the Rhinos will be fielding a combination of their first and second XVs.
