Peckham Rye Touch Rugby this Sunday!

[EMR]

Hello all,

We'll be playing touch rugby this Sunday on Peckham Rye Common if you fancy blowing a few cobwebs off. It's totally free as it's just an informal meet up of like minded folk.

11.15 til we get bored or tired (about 1 o clock). You'll find us on the common approximately in between the tree with the circular bench and East Dulwich Road. We're usually the only ones with rugby balls too so that'll narrow it down!

Hope to see some new faces :-)

Forgot to say if you didn't know already, it's MIXED and MINIMAL CONTACT. All the fun of rugby for men and women together without the bruises ;-)

Morning,

[EMR]

Hello! We play most Sundays, depending on how many people we know are coming each week. PM me your email address and I'll add you to our our round robin email that goes out on Thursday to count up numbers. :-)

[Darren Gray]

Any space for one more? Can I please give it a go?

[EMR]

Hi, yep please PM me your email address and I'll add you to the mailing list - this is the only way we can find out numbers and decide whether it's on or not.

Thanks!

[Darren Gray]

Sure. Thanks

Hi all, mixed gender touch rugby is on tomorrow morning (Sunday 18th May) at 11am.

You'll find us on the rugby/Gaelic pitch on Peckham Rye Common.

It's free, just come and have fun learning a new sport!

As a matter of interest to me (I won't bore you with the details), but do you lose possession if you have the ball in hand or do you have the chance to pass from where you are when you are touched?

[Darren Gray]

This was great fun- thanks for letting me join in.

[EMR]

Hey Darren, you were great and scored loads of tries! Hope to see you again soon :-)

Alan Medic, if i'm understanding your question correctly, if your pass is already in motion when you are touched, the pass is allowed and play continues. If you pass after you're touched (including if you change the direction of the pass mid-way through), then it is called a 'touch pass' and a penalty is awarded to the opposition. A penatly is a tap-kick with the defending team 10m back.

We don't usually play so stringently but it's good to learn the rules as structure!
