Sydney Rugby Goals and Post-Game Pints

Thu, Oct 29, 1:45 AM

From Rugby Social League Goals And Pints

Whether you are a seasoned player looking to keep your skills sharp or someone who just enjoys the atmosphere of a good match, we are getting together for a casual session of rugby goals and drills. It is a relaxed way to get some exercise, shake off the work week, and connect with other rugby fans in the area. We welcome all skill levels, so do not worry if you have not touched a ball in a while; the focus here is on movement and having a bit of fun rather than intense competition. Once we wrap up on the field, we will head over to a nearby pub to grab a pint and talk shop. It is a great chance to meet the rest of the group properly and settle into the weekend. If you have been meaning to get more involved with the local rugby scene or are just looking for a low-pressure way to spend a Saturday afternoon, we would love to have you join us. Please let us know if you can make it by clicking the button below so we can keep an eye on numbers. Places are capped for this one, so please register at the link below to make sure you have a spot.

Tell them what you're after, something fast and social, a deep strategy game, or you've never touched a board game in your life, and you'll be sorted in five minutes. We've got titles that'll become new favourites and rare gems for the dedicated gamers. The room fills up with people who came once and never stopped coming back. Solo, with friends, or somewhere in between, it works either way. Come find out why. 🎲 Come find out why. **🎲 What's on the table** **Party & social** Coyote · Exploding Kittens · Ghost Court · Here to Slay · Monikers · Munchkin · No Ducks Given · Sushi Go · Telestrations · Trolley Problem · Uno: No Mercy · A Fake Artist Goes to New York **Social deduction** Blood on the Clocktower · Codenames · Coup **Strategy** Arcs · Carcassonne · Catan · Railroads · Sidereal Confluence · Ticket to Ride: Europe **Mystery & investigation** Awkward Guests · Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective · This Game is Killer: Frozen Horrors **Co-op** Magic Maze · Pandemic Legacy · Puzzle Box **Team** Captain Sonar **Classics** Cards · Chess · Scrabble *Want something specific?
