Try Tag Rugby’s Spring Tournament made a long awaited return on Saturday (2nd April) after not being able to run for the last two years. Making its first appearance at Richmond Athletic Ground, an exciting and enjoyable day of Tag Rugby was enjoyed by teams at all levels with teams welcomed from Ireland and France for the first time since 2019.
The day finished with a hotly contested final between Turtles and Fun Guns & Buns (watch the final here). Cheered on by the other 94 teams taking part on the day, the two teams traded tries before Turtles eventually stretched to a 4-2 lead. Fun Guns & Buns had possession and a penalty as time expired but couldn’t break the Turtles strong defence, with the reigning TagFest London champions taking home another title.
In the other divisions the top honours were taken by Sweet Tagoline (Division 2), Tag Marry Avoid on tour (Division 3) and Fulham Spring Chickens (Division 4).
