Berkshire Brigands are set to host an exciting mixed ability rugby festival at Windsor Rugby Club.
Taking place on Saturday, April 9, the community rugby team that welcomes players with learning disabilities, autism and other barriers, and those without, from ages 17 and above will host a day filled with rugby action.
Berkshire Brigands was formed in September 2020 in the first year of the Covid pandemic.
Despite that, the club grew and thrived quickly, surviving lockdowns and restrictions to have a regular core of 20-25 players who train twice weekly and have played several matches and tournaments against other mixed ability sides, and also touch games with mainstream rugby teams.
The players come from a wide range of backgrounds and ability levels are truly mixed, which is the essence of the Mixed Ability Sport ethos. Players support and encourage each other and skill levels are improving all the time.
They will now host their inaugural mixed ability rugby festival that will take place at Windsor Rugby Club.
12 mixed ability rugby teams from across the country will play a mixture of contact and tag rugby matches between 12pm – 3pm, with presentations and awards at 4pm.
To make the day more special and inclusive to all there will also be a DJ, food outlets and the Windsor RFC clubhouse and bar.
