"You can take rugby seriously, but you must not take yourself too seriously.โ
Wise words that form the ethos of the vets #touchrugby community.
Tomorrow at midday we will remember Eddie Butler, Welsh rugby icon and poet, with a rousing round of applause.
Rest in peace Eddie.
Love this : G of @chepstowgold.
A choice of losing a leg or removing muscle mass after an accident gave G no hope of playing rugby again. Until that is he found his new #touchrugby family in 2021!

Itโs @touch_cup week. The bi-annual vets touch tournament that brings the top sides in Wales together. The next tournament is this Saturday at @chepstowgold and they will host 12 clubs, strictly over 40 years old. Can we go better than our previous two plate victories?
Steve from the @PontySaxons has it nailed on. #touchrugby helps "develop family, unity and bond". The Saxons are definitely fun to be around especially when they have "that loving feeling".
Come up to @CHEPSTOWRFC (24/9/22) to watch the Saxons play and hear their dulcet tones!
With the Renaissance Cup at @CHEPSTOWRFC just around the corner we asked each team to tell us what #touchrugby means to them.
First up the awesome Mac from @chepstowgold who got the giggles ๐คฃ
Join us on the 24th to watch over40s touch magic!!

Sadly Cwmafan Crusaders had to drop out this week so The Valley Vipers join us from the waiting list! Welcome guys! Itโs going to be a belter!! #touchrugby
@SquidgeRugby We should be :
- Proud we beat SA on their soil
- Happy we did not get the pasting most of us thought we might
- Encouraged to see new talent coming through
- Very disappointed to lose the series
Work to do but plucky losers we are not.
SAVE THE DATE! 24/09/22. The next Renaissance #touchrugby Cup will be hosted by @chepstowgold at @CHEPSTOWRFC!
Come to witness some amazing skills from some vintage athletes!
Kindly supported by our sponsors (full lineup TBA), @WelshRugbyUnion & @DRA_Community
