Saturday 22nd June 2024 saw teams from Bracknell Rugby Clubs Under 8's, Under 9's, Under 10's and Under 11's at the England Rugby Festival at Twickenham Stadium.

Playing on the same iconic pitch, and in the same stadium, that would later in the day see reigning Rugby World Champions South Africa take on Warren Gatland's Wales, followed by Fiji play against the legends of the Barbarian RFC the players quickly adapted to their new surroundings.

It was a truly rare, and memorable experience for the Boys and Girls, their families, and also the Coaching and Management teams who settled in to watch the high octane action as our young charges pitted their skills against other invited clubs from across England.

After the festival, there was enough time to grab a bite to eat and drink before sitting down to watch South Africa v Wales followed by Fiji v Barbarians RFC.

A fantastic and memorable day for everyone!

Thank you Natalie and Keith Rockell (M and J Chairs), and to all those in the background who helped make it happen.
