The reason behind

RUGBY AGAINST CANCER....

So your probably wandering what this is all about. Well I played rugby in Portsmouth for 6 maybe 7 years, and loved every minute of it. Within Portsmouth and the surrounding area you have Southsea Nomads RFC, US Portsmouth RFC, Portsmouth RFC, Gosport RFC, Havant RFC and Fareham RFC plus you have US Portsmouth Seahawks RL so that’s a lot of teams in a small area.

I personally know 5 people who have/had Cancer that are involved in these clubs and I've seen how it has affected these people and those who know them.

I've also had very close family and friends who have had Cancer and I have seen first hand the effect that this awful cancer has on them and also their family and friends.

I have been thinking about how to raise valuable funds for local and some national Cancer charities and it just clicked....RUGBY.

I know I have said I’ve played rugby in Portsmouth for 6-7 years but I have been playing for over 20 years and have witnessed first hand how the RUGBY family comes together to support each other.

The rugby community truly is amazing and really pulls together to help others where needed, so that got me thinking could we use rugby to help raise funds for these charities? Well the answer is YES. So we have decided to call on the rugby family to help us raise as much money for these amazing charities so they can continue their amazing work.

It is starting off as a small idea but who knows how big this could get.
