YOUNGSTERS at Wellington Rugby Club will have the chance to sample the atmosphere of first team rugby before a senior match at the Athletic Ground on Saturday, November 16.  

The club says: "Wellington rugby club will be providing a fantastic opportunity for under 12 boys (year 7) and under 15 girls (from year 7 to 10) to train for the first time ever before a first team match (Wellington v Tiverton).

"Why not come down and enjoy a family friendly rugby day out and get a feel for a new sport."

"A training session with full tuition towards safe rugby practice will be under taken by an England RFU level 2 coach between 12.30 to 1.30. This will be followed with food and drinks with the exclusive use of the 1874 bar (for parents); food will be provided to all children that participate.  

“All participates will get free access to the game afterwards. We will have members from the first team chatting to the players, many of whom started in the mini and junior section of the rugby club.”

Tiverton are lying second in the table with six wins in eight matches, while Wellington are ninth following their most recent loss - under lights at North Petherton.
