Gloucester Rugby Legends set to roll back the years

A number of Gloucester Rugby Legends are set to don the Cherry and White again when they take part in a brand new festival in South London this July, combining sport, music and family fun.

The likes of Terry Fanolua, Kingsley Jones, Byron Hayward, Junior Paramore, Henry Paul, Ollie Phillips and Tom Voyce will be dusting off their boots, to play in the tournament to raise money for Restart, a charity supporting professional players who have been forced to retire due to serious injury or illness.

Taking place on Saturday 13th July, at Wimbledon RFC, legends of the game including Martin Johnson, Harry Ellis and Serge Betsen will compete in a fun (and no doubt competitive) day of rugby.

Fans will get the chance to rub shoulders with their sporting heroes while long standing rivalries will be reignited in a tens tournament featuring teams from Gloucester Rugby, Leicester Tigers, Harlequins, Worcester, London Welsh, Bristol and Saracens.

Not just for the rugby players and fans, there is fun for all the family with live music, hospitality and an interactive fun zone featuring kid's party favourites, entertainers Dazzle and Fizz. DJ's and karaoke will be followed by a concert headline by chart toppers UB40.

Money raised will go to the official charity of the Rugby Players Association, Restart.

Tickets for spectators are £35 (adults) and £70 for a family (two adults and two children).
