Since hearing the news that ex-player Simon Christian had been diagnosed with MND, a team has been working on an event and now we are pleased to announce our “Festival of Rugby”

The day will start with a blended game of rugby, involving walking, touch and the full 15 game. We hope to see players from all sections of the club participate - culminating in a full15 game against an ‘all-star’ opposition.

All are welcome to come to the club to watch the rugby and enjoy some traditional hospitality from the Club bar and BBQ

The evening is a ticketed event with food and entertainment for our guests...as well as various fundraising opportunities, including an auction of promises.

Tickets are available for tables of 12 or for individual places at £35 per person and can be purchased via this link or via a payment link available from festivalofrugby@olneyrfc.co.uk
