After the enormous success of the inaugural Rochdale Swarm International Mixed Tag Rugby League Festival, the Swarm are proud to announce the date for the 2010 event.
Saturday the 29th of May will see an even bigger event with more teams and more nations represented.
The 2009 Festival saw International teams from Bruff (Limerick, Ireland), The Tullochan Tigers (Loch Lomond, Scotland), The Celtic Barbarians (Bridgend, Wales) as well as a Fijian Representative side organised by the Rochdale Fijian Association take the field against teams from across England.
In what was the largest ever adult Tag Rugby League Festival staged in the UK the eventual winners were local side the Littleborough Lightning.
The Festival is a showcase for this non-contact version of Rugby League.
It is played as a 7-a-side game with a minimum of 2 members of the opposite sex on the field at all times i.e. 2 women 5 men or 4 women 3 men etc.

[iHi Mark,
Happy New Year....
My name is Todd Price the Chairman of Kiwitag.
As you highlighted there are a few logistical and finanical hurdles to overcome but we are very keen to make a concerted effort to get a team or have some type of KIWITAG representation at your tournament in May.
Would you be able to send through me your mobile or landline phone numbers.
Regards
Todd [/i

Second Irish team, the Chariots of Fire from Limerick are looking a pretty sure bet to come and Stewart from the Leigh MB XIII says there's more than a good chance that they are coming this time as well.

Just over a week to go, everything's in place.
At least 24 teams, including 2 French teams, 2 Scottish, 2 Welsh, a Northern based Kiwi team, a team of Aussies that may even include a current Super League Star!! Teams from Warrington, Widnes, Leeds, Bradford, Dewsbury, Wakefield, Oldham and London. Plus no less than 8 teams from Rochdale, its going to be immense.
Full days entertainment, full Festival flavour with Stalls, exhibitions and not gorgetting the beer tent, a "Bucking Rugby Ball", various Rugby League personalities. At night we have a major presentation followed by a live rock band and then a disco into the early hours.
All the action will be captured by a professional Photography company as well as a promotional DVD made of the day to promote Tag Rugby League.
Cant wait!!
