Oxford University Rugby Football Club and In2Touch are delighted to announce a new formal partnership, bringing together two organisations committed to growing the game and making rugby more accessible to all.
Scott Hall, Head of Partnerships at OURFC, said:
“Partnering with In2Touch is a fantastic way to continue growing the game locally. Their support towards the Corporate Clash is only going to strengthen the event and enhance its focus on inclusivity, accessibility, and rugby for all.
We are equally excited to support In2Touch through this two-way partnership, with our players actively engaging in their Oxford Touch Rugby League whether that’s playing, coaching, or refereeing. It’s a great opportunity to keep our players involved in rugby beyond Varsity while also contributing to the growth of the game across Oxfordshire.”
Sammie Phillips, Operations Manager at In2Touch Thames Valley added:
"We are thrilled to partner with OURFC to promote and grow touch rugby participation opportunities in the Oxford area! Touch rugby is a fantastic way to bring people together, encouraging an active and social lifestyle outdoors during the summer. It supports wellness, fosters social bonds on and off the pitch, and significantly improves mental and physical health through increased activity levels. In our leagues, it’s a real community vibe and we welcome people of all ages, genders and backgrounds to play, referee, coach and get involved in event support so there’s lots to get involved in!”
Corporate Clash Touch Tournament
As part of the partnership, In2Touch will support the OURFC Corporate Clash Touch Tournament by promoting the event across their network and encouraging players to enter teams through their respective businesses.
The tournament, taking place on Friday 26th June, is set to bring together a wide range of businesses for a day built around networking, inclusion, and enjoyment. With squads of up to 15 players, the event continues to grow as a standout fixture in the Oxford business calendar.
Oxford Touch Rugby League
OURFC will support the launch and growth of In2Touch’s Oxford Touch Rugby League at Oxford Harlequins RFC, promoting the competition across its channels, alumni network, and supporter base.
OURFC players will also be actively involved, contributing through playing, refereeing, and coaching, helping to strengthen the rugby offering across Oxfordshire.
