<strong>Bristol</strong> <strong>Bears</strong><br />

South West businesses go<br />

head-to-head at charity tag rugby<br />

Community Fo undati on<br />

The rivalry between leading South West businesses<br />

is set to take on new twists and turns in a biggerthan-ever<br />

<strong>Bristol</strong> <strong>Bears</strong> Community Foundation tag<br />

rugby tournament.<br />

Foundation staff have teamed up to organise the<br />

annual fundraising tournament with the <strong>Bristol</strong>-based<br />

team of Design & Build specialists, Paramount, which<br />

has an office on the city’s historic Welsh Back.<br />

Thanks to their collaboration, soon teams of men and<br />

women from across the business community will be<br />

swapping the workplace for the rugby field to try to<br />

raise money for the foundation which supports local<br />

communities in and around <strong>Bristol</strong>.<br />

Competing teams will be vying to follow in the<br />

footsteps of the game’s modern greats, as the<br />

tournament will reach its climax under the floodlights<br />

of the <strong>Bears</strong>’ Ashton Gate home, where top players<br />

such as England stars Ellis Genge and Kyle Sinckler<br />

usually take centre-stage.<br />

Paramount are confident it will build on the success<br />

of last year’s Paramount Property Tag Rugby<br />

Tournament, which saw 150 players put commercial<br />

rivalries to one side to raise £3,000 for the Foundation<br />

at Cotham Park Rugby Club.<br />

Teams will be made up of seven players, with males<br />

and females taking part, and rulesstipulating that two<br />

female players must be on the field at any one time,<br />

with each squad having a total of 10 players.<br />

The tournament heats will take place at Lockleaze<br />

Sports Centre, on the following dates:<br />

March 16 – Property & Construction<br />

March 30 – Legal & Finance<br />

April 20 - Business Services<br />

May 3 – Finals<br />

Food and drink will also be available to competitors<br />

after each event.<br />

To win a chance to show off their sporting prowess at<br />

the stadium, over the next few months some 36 teams<br />

from across the property and construction, finance<br />

and legal, and business service sectors will be lining<br />

up to do battle for sporting glory when the sevena-side<br />

competition kicks off in March at Lockleaze<br />

Sports Centre.<br />
