THE Annual Wooden Spoon International Tag Rugby Festival for young people with a learning disability will be held at Ballyclare Rugby Club on Saturday 8th June.

The event will be the biggest ever and is due to be attended by over 900 players and coaches from England, Wales and the whole of Ireland. The event has full support from all four home unions – the Rugby Football Union, Scottish Rugby Union, Welsh Rugby Union and the Irish Rugby Football Union.

Clifford Gilmore, from Clare Hares and a member of the organising committee, said:

Planning for the event is almost completed. We would like to thank Wooden Spoon, Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council and all the local businesses for their sponsorship. Without their financial support it would have been very difficult for the club to host such a major event.

Teams from as far away as Hampshire, Oxford, Stockport, Witney and Swansea will be making the journey to Ballyclare along with Wasps from London who will be attending . . .
