The Nags Charity Barbarians: Power Of The Nags
Apr 30, 202400:32:49Tap to summarizeThis week we are joined by Ed Birch from The Nags Charity Barbarians. I am fairly sure they are the sole rugby club to be founded while a group of men pulled a canal boat the length of a marathon, I haven't researched that but I think it's a safe bet. The Nags are a fantastic team who play rugby and undertake various challenges to raise money for Cancer Research UK. This year they are heading to Tewkesbury Rugby Club for a weekend of rugby on the 10th and 11th of May, we would strongly recommend heading down for what is sure to be a brilliant time. We talk all things Nags, challenges and £200,000+ they have already raised.The Nags Charity BarbariansInstagram - @nagscharitybarbariansFacebook - The Nags Charity BarbariansWebsite - www.nagsrugby.co.ukDonation Page - fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/nags2024Roots Ruck RiotDonation Page - fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/nags2024Donation Page - fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/nags2024If you would like your club featured please email us at rootsruckriotpodcast@gmail.comPlease leave us a review wherever you listen to your podcasts, it helps us grow the show and continues us shining a light on the game we all love.Donation Page - fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/nags2024
