Tri-nations Champions!

Tom Willson — Mon, 24 Jun 2013 12:04:06 +0000

Bradford and Bingley Bumble Bee Barbarians won the first ever Tri Nations mixed ability Tournament by defeating in two hard-fought matches arch-rivals Llanelli Warriors and the new but fierce Scottish side, the Clan.

For the Bumbles is an immense satisfaction, especially for the grit and the teamwork shown during all the tournament, but congratulations go to everybody for the huge step forward that mixed ability rugby has made this weekend!

Bumbles at Manningham Mills

Tom Willson — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 12:00:56 +0000

A group of Bumbles attended yesterday a promotional event at Manningham Mills Sports Association(Bradford).

The players, also part of the Inclusion in Rugby class supported by the WEA, delivered outstandingly their presentation, arousing the interest and admiration of the participants.

We have spoken about Olympic and Paralympic legacy, how to help groups and individuals who want to run and get involved in sports activities, how to overcome challenges and help funding them.

Bumbles’ experience, once again, proved to be able to successfully promote new ideas and build a solid network around itself.
Nice work, guys!

Spirit of Rugby Award

Tom Willson — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 12:50:23 +0000

International November (and Movember) is almost finished and Christmas is around the corner.

It’s presents time also for the International Rugby Board!

“Since its inception in 2001, the IRB Awards has become a highlight of the international rugby calendar. It is an occasion at which the IRB recognises and celebrates the achievements of those involved at the highest level of the world game on the field, as well as recognising the dedication and commitment given by those who work on a voluntary basis away from the field, and without whose labours the game would not survive”.

Who will be the best player?

Richie McCaw?Frédéric Michalak?

Who knows…

But, among the others, there is a special prize.

The Spirit of Rugby Award.

“The Spirit of Rugby Award recognises the incredible feats that can be achieved through Rugby both on and off the field, and those who through selfless action influence the lives of others, make significant contribution to their communities and demonstrate the force for good that sport can be in all areas of the world”.

This years the award goes to Lindsay Hilton, scrum-half and vice-president with the Halifax Tarswomen’s rugby team, in Canada, for her remarkable achievement in playing the sport despite being born without any limbs.

“I play rugby because I love the sport. It’s very social. It’s more of a community than anything. We’re all very close at our club; it is like having a second family”, Linsday said receiving the award.

Do these words sound familiar?
