Rugby made a tentative return at North Dorset RFC this week – but all teams are not coming back to training at the same time.


It was hoped Mini and Youth squad training could resume from Sunday – but all players are asked to check with team managers for exact dates and times for the start of their training sessions.

As with football and other outdoor sports allowed to resume this week, changing rooms and showers are shut and no spectators allowed bar one adult or guardian per child.

Club chairman Greg Pearce said: “Planning is going on to get the highly popular Friday Touch rugby competition going again from April 16, and we expect to link this with a restart of the World’s Biggest Beer Garden which was so popular last year. Planning is already underway for our annual ND7s event, subject to restrictions being lifted, it is proposed for Saturday July 24.”

North Dorset RFC is hosting Bath Rugby for one of its mixed half-term camps on April 7 for 6 to 14-year- olds. The day camp costs £30 and limited spaces are available. Book at rugbycamps.co.uk/bath.
