Edinburgh Rugby is celebrating the heart and soul of the game – the unsung heroes who make grassroots rugby tick!
For our URC clash against Zebre Parma at Hive Stadium on Friday 14 February, we’re giving one deserving ‘grassroots great’ the chance to deliver the match ball ahead of kick-off!
As part of the URC’s Origin Round, we’re shining a spotlight on the incredible individuals who dedicate their time and energy to local clubs, helping shape the future of rugby and inspiring our pro players.
This is your opportunity to recognise the volunteers, coaches, kit managers, tea ladies, and all the other dedicated individuals who make your local rugby club so special.
Nominate your ‘grassroots great’ today! Tell us their story and why they deserve this special recognition. Whether it’s the volunteer who coaches the minis every week, the kit man who’s been with the club for 20 years, or the tea lady who provides much-needed warmth and sustenance on a cold winter’s day, we want to celebrate their contribution.
The winner will not only have the honour of delivering the match ball in front of the Hive Stadium faithful but will also receive three hospitality tickets to the match! It’s our way of saying thank you to the people who make grassroots rugby so vibrant and important.
