Wooden SpoonRugby was officially launched in September 2007 and there are now three different sides playing under the Wooden Spoon name - Wooden Spoon Men, Wooden Spoon Women and the Wooden Spoon Legends. The teams play both here and abroad and each fixture helps with fundraising, increases the profile of Wooden Spoon and ensures Spoon can continue to have a positive impact on helping disadvantaged children and young people throughout the UK and Ireland.
The awareness that has been generated across UK rugby through contact with clubs and by playing at these high profile tournaments has been massive and the WoodenSpoonRugby teams have set a high benchmark on the tournament circuit during the last year and are now considered the team to beat, the Wooden Spoon Women notched victories over England three times over the course of the 2011 season . WoodenSpoonRugby is enthusiastic to take their successful reputation forward into the new season.
The three teams are totally self financing through player contributions and sponsorship. Spoon is delighted that many sponsors have given their support that will allow the WoodenSpoonRugby teams to play in some of the world's most popular tournaments and engage with passionate rugby supporters both in the UK and overseas.
