As an Official Lions Rugby origin club, our juniors were invited to the Howden Insurance #bigrugbydayout in Oxford. A brilliant day was had by kids & parents, playing rugby themed games, meeting and being coached by rugby legends and claiming plenty of stash! The club was also presented with a signed British & Irish Lions ball as commemeration of being an official Lions Origin club
Three former Lions greats Gavin Hastings, Jason Robinson & Tyrone Howe joined Red Roses legend Maggie Alphonsi at the Howden Big Rugby Day Out on 21 April in Oxford to celebrate grassroots rugby.
The grassroots rugby event at Oxford University Rugby Club’s Iffley Road ground, saw Howden launch their partnership with Lions Origin Clubs.
The Lions Origin programme celebrates those clubs that have helped shape the future of the Lions by producing and guiding players on their rugby journey and the Howden Big Rugby Day Out event had a range of Lions Origin clubs in attendance.
The Howden Big Rugby Day Out event was a celebration of grassroots rugby with Gavin Hasting, Jason Robinson and Maggie Alphonsi leading coaching sessions with young players and sharing the influence of community clubs on their own rugby journeys.
