BATTLE ON THE BEACHES: LONDON BEACH RUGBY RETURNS SUMMER 2015

50 ambitious teams and 240 tons of sand come together for the UK's premier beach rugby tournament

Whether you want to be part of the ruck or prefer to ‘prop’ up the bar, London Beach Rugby is an event not to be missed this Summer. Now in its third year, this year’s event is being held on Friday 31st July and Saturday 1st August in Finsbury Square, London.

On the Saturday, the party really ‘kicks-off’ as ambitious amateur teams take to the sand. Veteran clubs and new hopefuls will dive, dart and sprint across the pitches. Sharps Brewery Doom Bar ambassador Phil Vickery and his hand-picked side will also be showcasing their tricks in a bid to take home the glory.

If you'd rather be sitting in the front row rather than playing in it, outdoor sport and sunshine is the perfect excuse to come and enjoy the match-day atmosphere. It’s free to come and watch and the Beach Bar and DJ will make sure nobody swings low when the games stop.

Myles Waud, Director London Beach Rugby said, “It’s World Cup year and rugby fever is sweeping the nation. London Beach Rugby, now bigger and better than ever before, is the perfect event to get your first fix ahead of the international tournament later this year. Whether you bring a team to play or bring your mates and watch - don’t miss out.”

Over the two days London Beach Rugby hopes to raise a huge amount of money for the chosen charity Help for Heroes. Admission is free so charitable donations are appreciated to further this worthy cause.

Not only will Sharps refreshing Doom Bar be on hand to cool things down but partners CityJet, hydration brand CocoPro, apparel supplier BLK, and Rugby Radio are all proud to be involved in this prestigious event.
