This Saturday something special is happening, so come and be a part of the action! The budgie triathlon is an event which enables the senior playing squads, across ladies and men, to give back to the club community and fundraise to support the development of key projects at the club such as floodlighting, pitch development and other projects to aid the development of first-class facilities at BRFC. You can pick a team to support and a flyer with links to their just giving pages is attached to this article.

Understandably teams are going to want to win, but the triathlon is a team sport and, like rugby, will follow TREDS, Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship and don’t forget to raise the money!!
