About The Club

Touch Rugby, Done Properly, On The Coast.

We started with a handful of players, a borrowed pitch at Colwyn Bay RFC, and a WhatsApp group. We now run weekly training and play fixtures across North Wales. Touch is rugby with the contact taken out, so it suits anyone who wants to play, regardless of size, age or experience.

Mixed ability. Real games. Pints after. New faces always welcome.

Our Story

Started Small.
Still Are.
Growing Fast.

Colwyn Bay Touch Rugby started in 2025 with a handful of ex-15-a-side players, a borrowed pitch at Colwyn Bay RFC, and a vague idea that the North Wales coast deserved a touch club of its own.

We are an independent touch club, not part of the RFC's 15s playing structure, but very much based at their grounds in Rhos-on-Sea. They have made us welcome and we are proud of where we train.

We train every Wednesday from 6 to 7pm, play friendlies and tournaments across North Wales and the borders, and stay for a pint in the clubhouse after.

What Is Touch Rugby?

Rugby. With No Tackles.

Touch is a six-a-side, no-contact version of rugby. Defenders touch ball-carriers with one hand instead of tackling. After six touches, possession changes over.

It is fast, social, mixed-ability, and forgiving on the body. You do not need to be young, fit, or experienced to play. You just need to turn up.

If you have played any code of rugby, you will pick it up in a session. If you have never played, you will pick it up in two.

Your First Session

What To Expect

  1. Drop Us A Line First

    Use the form on the contact page or message us on Instagram. We will let you know where to meet and what to bring.

  2. Show Up In Trainers Or Boots

    Either is fine on the grass. Bring water, a darker shirt and a lighter shirt if you have them, so we can split into teams.

  3. 15 Minute Warm-Up

    Light run, ball-handling, two-touch drills. Nothing intense. We want you on the pitch, not pulled up in week one.

  4. Small-Sided Games

    Half-pitch, six-a-side, rolling subs. We mix abilities so you are not stranded with strangers, and we run plays slowly enough that you can ask questions mid-game.

  5. Pints At The Bay Café

    Optional, strongly encouraged. The RFC clubhouse opens after training.

What We Stand For

Three Things, That Is It.

1

Play Hard

Show up, run hard, leave nothing on the pitch. We are not here to jog about.

2

Play Fair

Touch is a self-policing game. Call your own touches. Respect the ref. Walk back ten.

3

Play Together

Pass the ball. Cheer your team. Stay for the pint. The rest sorts itself out.
