The Bears were boosted by a visit of their patron Ulster and Ireland player, Luke Marshall, who joined in the fun and helped give a few pointers for their big day.
The International festival will take place on 7th June on the Ravenhill pitch, home of Ulster Rugby. Over 340 players from 44 teams will be taking part, from Scotland, Wales and as far away as Hampshire in England.
Tag rugby is a non-contact sport and the Bears at Ballymena Rugby Club have been established for those with learning disabilities. They meet every other Sunday and it is not too late to join in the fun for either players or helpers. If you are interested in either playing or helping please contact Gary Donald on 0773 8389791 or search for Ballymena Bears on Facebook for more details.
