UPDATE

A group of players from Droitwich RFC and our first recruit from Isle of Wight RFC has taken our number of players just short of 100!

Invites have been sent out to Cardigan RFC (who are interested in being our hosts in 2028) and my home club, Treharris RFC. Therefore I hope to sign a few more welsh lads soon!

I am now looking to build our management team, team managers are sorted but we need coaches, physios and referees. This team holds the unsung heroes of the event by making everything run smoothly, fairly and safely. So if anyone is interested please get in touch.

The shop is now open with even more 'merch' including polo shirts, vests, sports bras, shorts, hats and balls. Please remember that Scimitar will donate 20% of all sales into our pot.

NAGS PLAYERS PASS 90!

After a surge from Pershore RFC, our player numbers now totals 94. That includes 31 veterans, 35 men and 28 ladies.

The rugby shirts, polo shirts and other merch are for sale in the Scimitar shop. The 'Nags Angels' are comparing their bikes and planning the route. Camping bookings have been opened and hotels are starting to fill.

Evesham 2026 is starting to bubble nicely.

If you wish to join us, please PM me with your club, the team you wish to play in and preferred playing positions (more than one is helpful).

Our pot currently stands at £1497.50, thank you xxx

UPDATE

Player numbers pass 84 with a little surge from Farnham RFC, Kenilworth RFC and Cheltenham North RFC.

I am told that Treharris RFC, Cardigan RFC and Hartpury University College RFC are collecting volunteers so even better times to come.

The first order of shirts are arriving and looking good, whilst the polo shirts are in design. Remember there is camping available at the club too for a short stagger from the bar!
