The 14th National Cronk-Cunis Under 21 Festival of Rugby
Monday 30th August 2010 at the Richmond Athletic Ground
The Cronk-Cunis National Under 21 Festival is the biggest one-day Festival of adult XV-a-side Rugby in the UK. Four years ago the RFU awarded it the accolade of being a 'National' event and since then the RFU President has always attended. This year the RFU’s new President, Richard Appleby, will be presenting the Trophies at 7pm.
Join us at the Richmond Athletic Ground on Bank Holiday Monday 30th August to watch more than 800 young adult players battling it out on behalf of their old school in the 14th National Cronk-Cunis Under 21 Rugby Festival. Started in 1997 by Andrew Cronk and Tim Cunis, this tournament reunites talented players who might otherwise give up the game at university after leaving their school. It is a good opportunity to earmark future rugby potential and enjoy a great day out.
