On Sunday 30th of May 2010, Spring Bank Holiday UK, we will be hosting the annual Dukes tournament for senior teams. During the tournament there will be teams from throughout Europe and The Netherlands playing against each other, which will make it a great weekend to enjoy with rugby enthusiasts from all over Europe.

Due to the unique location of our clubhouse it is possible to enjoy both rugby and exciting nightlife. Our clubhouse is only 5 minutes walk from the city center, which makes both rugby and pleasure easily to combine.
On Saturday 29th of May 2010 our youth tournament will be played, which is one of the biggest in The Netherlands. In the evening there will be a big welcome party in our tent for all teams involved on the Sunday with music, drinks and snacks. This is a perfect chance to meet the various other teams who will play the tournament. After the games on Sunday our tent will also be open until late to celebrate the ending of yet another good and sportive weekend!

Having organized a 15-a-side tournament for 32 years we decided three years ago to change the format to 10-a-side. With great succes, because 10-a-side is more attractive for smaller clubs, especially at the end of the season, and it makes the game more exciting to play and to watch.
During the tournament it will be possible for senior teams to stay overnight, on Saturday and Sunday, in tents with access to toilet and shower facilities. You will need to bring your own sleeping gear.

- Tournament fee for the senior tournament is € 100,00 (€ 50,00 will be paid back at the tournament in the form of consumption tickets).
- Prices to stay overnight in the tent camp including use of shower and toilet facilities will cost € 15,00 per person. This includes Saturday and Sunday night. It is strictly prohibited by the local city council to put up own tents next to the pitch.

If you have teams interested in attending our tournament, you can contact us for further information and an application form.
