England rugby legend Fran Cotton was on hand on Tuesday night to help Woody Barlow start the draw for this Saturday's (25th May) Sandbach Festival of Rugby.

Fran Cotton starts the draw

The Festival, sponsored by Accenture, kicks off at 10am on Saturday and comprises an Open 7s Tournament and a Veterans 10s Tournament.

Both tournaments feature some amazing teams, the Sevens especially including an invitational Fijian Squad plus a Rugby Legends squad that will include a number of international players.

Apart from the top class rugby, all the traditional Sandbach hospitality will be available and all club members are invited down to enjoy the day.
