SLAITHWAITE Saracens are holding a touch rugby event next Saturday (August 4) in conjunction with the Huddersfield Giants Community trust.

The event kicks-off at noon and goes on throughout the afternoon, with refreshments and raffles taking place pitchside.

The club are hoping this will become an annual event, ranging from Touch Rugby to Masters games, with other fun aspects thrown in.

And up for grabs is a memorial Touch Rugby trophy in honour of the late Steve Hawkyard.

Anybody wishing to enter a team should contact Jonny Fell on 07960 797593 or Ritchie Hawkyard on 07725 481487.

It’s £20 per team to enter with a cash prize and trophy for the winners.

Team categories are Juniors Under 13s to Under 16s, Open Age and also Masters for the Over 35s.
