But this only possible with funds donated by our ‘Friends of Bridge- 2Aid’ and raised by events like ‘It’s a Knockout’. I hope that many practices and teams will join us for what promises to be a great day out having fun and making a big dif- ference to the poor rural commu- nities where Bridge2Aid works.” Let the fun begin!

Spectators are more than welcome to help cheer on their favourite team and looking silly and having fun is definitely compulsory – in fact, extra points will be rewarded to the best-dressed team!
