THE launch of didi rugby Devon is just a day away and interest in the event has been "absolutely tremendous" according to franchise partner Paul Tearle.

The launch takes place at Crediton Rugby Club tomorrow, Saturday, February 19, with taster classes for all three didi age groups from 18 months up to six years of age.

Special guests tomorrow will be former England Women’s international, founder and CEO of didi rugby, Vicky Macqueen and local hero, Wayne Reed.

Paul said: “We are privileged to have both guests at the event and the response we have had from the local community has been absolutely tremendous.

“We have had to extend some of our taster sessions and have now begun taking bookings for our weekly sessions in March.

“The sport of rugby and the county of Devon have been synonymous with each other since the beginning of time, and that has been proven once again with the numbers we have coming to our didi rugby launch.”
