Competitive rugby returns to Scarborough RUFC with 10s tournament
Scarborough RUFC will play host to their first competitive rugby in nearly 18 months this Saturday.
A 10s tournament will take place at Silver Royd this weekend, with 11 different teams hoping to be successful.
Hosts Scarborough, Joe Lenton Select X, Whitby, Hullensians, Driffield, WOB’s, Moortown A, Moortown B, Doncaster, Goole and Rowntree are all making the trip to the coast to take part in the inaugural tournament.
All teams are fielding five forwards and five backs with matches split into two halves of eight minutes.
The club have also secured the services of professional sevens referees, who will take charge of the games to ensure that the day runs smoothly and fairly.
The tournament begins at 10am, with a three-pool round-robin system, which will then be followed by the knockout stages that will be held on the main pitches.
The crucial third and final Test of the 2021 British Lions series in South Africa will be shown after the tournament with pie, peas and a pint on sale for only £5.
