Masters of Rugby League
Rugby League Masters is available to anyone over the age of 35 years who wants to play a modified version of rugby league, designed to be a bit kinder on “older bones”.
Players fall into 4 age categories:
- 35 to 39 wear white shorts
- 40 to 49 wear black shorts
- 50 to 59 wear red shorts
- 60+ wear gold shorts
White & black short players tend to tackle each other as normal.
Red short players have to hold or be held two handed & stop momentum.
Gold short players have to tag or be tagged for a tackle to be called.
Teams do not keep score as this is purely socially focused with rule number 1 being you must buy your opposite number a pint after the game.
Training sessions will run from Sunday 31 January 2010 at 10.30am at Lukes Lane playing fields in Hebburn. Everyone is welcome to come along to training.
The North East Masters team will be hosting a 4 team tournament at Peterlee Pumas RLFC Helford Road ground on Sunday 21 March.
