Hi all,

I've kinda got a hankering to play rugby at the weekends but have two slight problems

1) I ain't ever played before and
2) I haven't a scooby where in Sheffield there's a club that'd be into an absolute beginner like me having a go.

I'm in OK shape / fitness - could be better, could be worse

I'm only any good at playing footy when I'm using my shoulders and generally being fllthy so I thought I might start playing to my strengths :D

Can anyone help?

Cheers
Saifa

not sure of where you would go in Hillsborough ...

Although I don't play now, I went to Abbeydale years ago having never played and Sheffield rufc were great. I used to get a lift up there off one ofthe other players. What will probably happen is they'll invite you to training sessions and if you're keen who knows...they have several sides so it's not an impossible task even though the first team are at a high level.

Don't know who you'd contact these days so maybe you could email first to find out. Think I started this time of year and it gave me chance to get familiar.

can't write an email link yet because of low number of posts:rolleyes:

Ther is Hillsborough Hawks they play at hillsbrough sports arena which is probably in the yellow pages if not 118118 have got their number. You could probably start training with the summer side and get a feel for it. It is the tram stop for the park and walk as if you're going to the park and you cant miss it just look for the posts.
