Walking Rugby Stars To Compete At Salisbury Festival

Community Foundation's Walking Rugby programme will take place in its first competitive tournament on Saturday when they make the trip to Salisbury RFC.

Kris Tavender and his side will compete against teams from Reading, Salisbury, Bournemouth and Trojans in their first competitive outing since the programme began.

Tavender said: "Since it's introduction to Bristol in May 2016, Walking Rugby has made such huge strides and this is a prime example of the progress we have made. 

"We're really looking forward to going to Salisbury this weekend to celebrate Walking Rugby as a sport and test ourselves against teams from across the country."
