CR & FC organized 'CR long bar Tag Rugby festival' for the second time which hopes to attract many rugby lovers to the field.

The fun-filled event will be staged on October 24 starting off from 3pm and will continue till 9pm under flood lights at Longden place. The interesting facts about this tournament are each seven member team should include one female player and other six men should fit into the given age categories as two should be over 25, two should be over 30 and two should be over 35 and most interestingly one forward pass per team is valid for a match which applies as the football off-side rule, this is the first time in Sri Lanka such rule comes into play.

There will be 24 teams taking part in this event and the draw was held recently at the CR & FC club house.
