A day of big tackles, team spirit and fundraising ambition is set to take centre stage as young rugby players prepare to battle it out in a county-wide festival.
Crediton Rugby Football Club’s under-15 boys will host the Devon RFU under-15 boys ten-a-side festival, bringing together teams from across the county for a showcase of junior rugby.
The event will take place on Sunday, May 3, with matches scheduled to begin at 9:30am at the club’s ground on Exhibition Road in Crediton.
Organisers say the festival aims to highlight emerging talent while offering a day of competitive rugby in a family-friendly setting. Nineteen teams are expected to take part, with the event designed to celebrate both the sport and the wider rugby community.
Alongside the action on the pitch, the team will use the event to raise money for their under-16 tour next year, marking the end of their junior rugby journey.
A raffle will run throughout the day, featuring a wide range of prizes donated by local businesses and organisations. These include experiences, vouchers, sports equipment and family days out.
Tickets for the raffle are available online, with proceeds going directly towards the tour fund. Entries can be purchased via:

The draw is scheduled to take place at 1pm on the day of the festival, with winners notified by email.
Food and refreshments will be available throughout the day, and club facilities will remain open to visitors.
Organisers are encouraging supporters and the wider community to attend, take part in the raffle and help contribute to the team’s fundraising efforts.
