A RUGBY club in York is set to launch new 'Touch Rugby' sessions tomorrow - which are free for anyone to join.

York RI RUFC, who pride the themselves on being "one of the North’s most diverse and inclusive rugby clubs", will launch the new sessions from tomorrow - and they want you to join in.

Andy McCarthy, chair of York RI RUFC, said “Touch Rugby is a great sport to take advantage of long summer evenings.

"This format of rugby allows players with any level of experience to play socially, learn new skills and keep fit.

"If anyone has been thinking about giving rugby a go or getting back into the sport this is the perfect opportunity."

The sessions will cover the basics of the sport and aim to "build confidence in a contact-free, fun and friendly environment".

Training sessions will take place on Thursday evenings from 19:30 at New Lane, where the club is based.
