Saturday 26th September - KO 2pm - CANCELLED due to recent Covid19 outbreaks in the Redruth area.

Disappointing but safety must come first.

We will playing our old friends and rivals Launceston in the Ready4 Rugby format detailed below and in the document attached. Basically its a complicated version of touch rugby played by two teams of 10 people on a restricted pitch. There will be multiple matches between the squads of the two clubs on the day and it should be fast paced and exciting. I know the props are really looking forward to it!

Spectators are welcome and the bars will be open.
Entry will be by donation to the Cornwall Air Ambulance and Redruth RFC (to cover costs of the event).

Strict social distancing rules will be in place - please follow any guidance issued by the stewards or bar staff.

GENERAL GAME PLAY
Objective is to score a try by grounding the ball in the
opponents’ in goal.
• 1 Point is awarded for a try.
• Defending team aim to stop the attacking team from scoring by making a touch on the ball carrier on the waist or below by two different defenders.
• Each team has an attacking zone in front of the goal line they are attacking.
• Once the ball crosses the attack zone line the attacking team have 4 phases to score.
• Teams can be mixed (male and female).

ATTACK
• After first touch tackle, the ball carrier can run, pass or kick (kick = attacking zone only).
• Ball carrier touch tackled once cannot score and must pass to a support player to score.
• After a second touch tackle from two different opponents, ball carrier must stop running, throw the ball above their head, and catch it before passing to a support player.
• Pass after second touch tackle must be no more than 2 metres.
• Dropped ball during throw above head and catch = turnover.
• Attacking team have 4 phases to reach their attacking zone. Otherwise = turnover.
• Once the ball enters the attacking zone, attacking team have a further 4 phases to score. No score = turnover.
• Ball carrier may kick the ball in the attacking zone and below head height.
• Ball goes dead through in goal from attacker kicking = restart to defending team on attack zone line.

DEFENCE
• The team not in possession of the ball must retire 2 metres to the offside line after each phase (two touch tackles).
• Possession is turned over if the attack does not reach the attacking zone or if a try is not scored within the allocated number of phases.
• After a try, the non-scoring team restart play with a free pass at the centre of the half-way line
• If a defending player throws or takes the ball into the in-goal, and a defending player grounds it and there has been no infringement, play is restarted by the attacking team on the attack zone line with 4 phases.
• If the attacking team loses possession of the ball and it goes to ground in the field of play and subsequently moves into the opposition team’s in-goal and is made dead by the defending team, play is restarted by the non-offending team 5 metres from the goal line.
