Masters Walk Into The 2026 Season

Tomorrow 7 of the Masters squad will get playing activity underway but not by having a game of Rugby League Masters.

During the off season a couple of the Masters players have enjoyed getting involved in Walking Rugby sessions which have been really well run, and hosted by Richmondshire Rugby Union.

Richmondshire have a game lined up next weekend against Pocklington RU and have asked our Masters team if we could give them a practice hit out this week, in preparation, who are we to let anyone down?

Walking Rugby is a great low impact conditioning game as the game doesn’t stop at all, unlike League there’s no scrums or Play the Ball’s and unlike Union there’s no rucks, mauls, scrums or line outs. So despite it only going at a fast walking pace, the ball and bodies never stop.

Our Masters team often use it at training as it is a great way to warm up but also encourages communication, creating space, support and push.

Tomorrow, Jase, Goadie, Darren, JT, Gaz, Jay and new Masters recruit, Ally will enjoy providing opposition for the ‘shire as they prep for their first game the following week. We will also look forward to having a few quality beers and food at the Holly Hill afterwards.

If you’re an over 35 male and fancy seeing what Masters is all about, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.
