A new event on the Wairarapa-Bush rugby calendar will be staged at the Colombo road grounds in Masterton this Sunday.
The Rams club, formerly labelled Masterton Red Star, is holding the Trust House pre-season 10-a-side tournament for Wairarapa-Bush clubs and registered local players and organiser Peter Semmens is delighted that enough entries have been received for them to be drawn into two pools.
In pool A will be Rams Black, East Coast, Marist and Pioneer Blue and in pool B Rams White, Carterton, Gladstone and Pioneer Red.
Semmens said the Rams had decided on a 10-a-side tourney because clubs were still in the process of formulating their squads and it would provide an excellent opportunity for players to test their fitness.
Games will kick off at 10am and will be 10 minutes each way. Each team is guaranteed 4 matches against different opponents. The final is expected to start around 3pm.
