PROPS Rugby
Our Rugby group are our longest serving fundraisers and have grown progressively under the captaincy of Nick Trivett. Together with manager Yann Amouroux, the rugby group are responsible for significant networking opportunities. Both Bristol and Bath Rugby contribute significantly to our activity. Barbarians fixtures can be found on the events page. We continue to encourage inclusive junior rugby, with Barbarian teams representative at major events.With the support of Bristol Ladies we hope to keep expanding our Barbarian ethos.
Bristol ladies rugby is pleased to announce their official support for PROPS and will continue to strengthen and develop links that were established in 2009.
Bristol ladies rugby was formed from the long established rugby club Clifton in 2008. As a National Premiership club, it boasts over a dozen international players representing several countries both in Europe and North America. It also is home to England captain, Catherine Spencer, who has led her side to three Six Nations titles and two Grand Slams. Bristol ladies currently play their home games at Dings RFC in Lockleaze and their fixtures can be found on the Bristol Rugby website:
Bristol ladies will be joining forces with PROPS to organise an annual 6s touch rugby tournament as well as many other fundraising events.
Club Captain, Heidi Mercer, welcomed Bristol ladies co-operation with PROPS by saying,
“PROPS is a very worthy local charity that shares many of the values that we hold as a club in providing opportunities for all individuals to reach their potential and develop good character and self-esteem. We are really pleased that we are developing this relationship and expect it to continue to grow.”
Our Barbarian Rugby is inclusive. Our occasional Rugby XV’s range from U8’s to senior Barbarian Rugby, our ethos is simple: Excellence, Equity and Inclusion. PROPS is a rugby inspired charity and our inclusive projects are endorsed by our local premiership clubs and the RFU. The adult side have played against some of the best teams in Wales and the South West and have participated in the PROPS Charity 10’s, a competition that incorporates England and Irelands premiership teams.
