Mark your calendars for Sunday 27th April 2025 as the Ilkley T5s Rugby Tournament kicks off at 11:30 am at Ilkley Rugby Club, Stacks Field. Back for its second year, this exciting event promises fast-paced tag rugby, a fun-filled family atmosphere, and support for an incredible cause.
What is the Ilkley T5s?
The Ilkley T5s is the premier adult tag rugby event in LS29, blending community spirit with thrilling rugby action. It’s not just about the sport—it’s about making a difference. The tournament raises vital funds for the Principle Trust Children's Charity, providing underprivileged, disadvantaged, and disabled children across Yorkshire with free holidays.
You can support by donating directly to the Principle Trust Children's Charity here or visit their website here.
How It All Began
Founded in 2024, the T5s began as a light-hearted challenge for Ilkley Rugby Club's junior coaches. Since then, it has grown, welcoming over 100 participants of all skill levels. Last year, the tournament raised an impressive £5,000, helping to bring smiles and lasting memories to children in need.
What to Expect in 2025
The 2025 tournament is set to be bigger and better, with:
5-a-side tag rugby games based on RFU U8 laws
Squads of up to 8 players
Fast-paced matches: 5 minutes straight through or 5-minute halves for finals
Group stages and knockout rounds to determine the champions
Off the Pitch
The fun isn’t limited to the rugby field. Bring the whole family and enjoy:
Children’s games
A raffle with fantastic prizes
A children’s tombola
A tuck shop filled with tasty treats
Delicious bakes at the cake stall
Plus, soak up the village fair atmosphere with food and drinks available at the clubhouse.
Prizes and Participation
Compete for shiny trophies, ultimate bragging rights, and the coveted winners’ title—but beware of the wooden spoon! Every player will leave with a t-shirt and goody bag to remember the day.
