- First City Touch Rugby Tournament to take place in the Square Mile
- Big name sponsors - Harlequins Rugby League Club, London Skolars and London Rugby league, back the event
On Thursday 13th August 2009 at 4pm a unique event will take place in the square mile, a touch rugby tournament, aimed at promoting Rugby League in the heart of the City, with leading professional players from Harlequins Rugby League coaching each team.
Twelve city based teams have signed up to compete at the prestigious HAC Artillery Ground in London including high profile names such as Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse. The knockout format of the event will see each team, comprising of 10 individuals, battle it out for supremacy on the field in a 3 hour contest, leading to semi finals and then the grand final.
The competition is part of the Rugby Football League’s policy to raise the profile of the sport within the leading financial centre in the world, London. The popularity of the event has been enhanced by the backing of leading players in the field of Rugby League, including Harlequins Rugby League Club, London Skolars and London Rugby league.
Hector McNeil, Managing Partner/Head of Marketing and Sales, ETF Securities commented:
“We are committed to help raise the profile of rugby league in London and look forward to inviting city professionals to join us in bringing this exiting tournament into the square mile.”
“It promises to be an exciting day with up to 200 spectators packing out the venue at HAC, Artillery Ground, London to experience a competitive tournament with leading professionals coaching the teams.”
Brian McDermott, Harlequins Rugby League head coach, commented:
“Once again London Rugby League has come up with a great initiative to get the capital talking about Rugby League. I’m glad to be involved and think it will be a really great day out for everyone involved.”
“My players are incredibly competitive by nature, so already they’re starting to niggle each other about who’s team will win!”
