We were delighted to be in the company of representatives from The Norfolk and Suffolk Foundation Trust ( the local mental health trust) and MIND (Norwich and Mid Norfolk) this weekend. They were highlighting Mental Health and its importance and value.
Well done to everybody who took part in a friendly touch rugby game, coached by Soul Phoenix.
Here are some photo's for posterity - & if you would like to continue to play the great game of touch rugby, come along to Holt RFC every Thursday 6.30 - 8pm. Contact Roy Lawrence or Martyn Jackson

In order to engage with the rugby community many of the staff some of whom had only just started playing rugby played a competitive game of Mixed Touch Rugby NSFT v MIND on the Saturday before the Norfolk Senior Cup final.
