As Covid 19 won the 2020 event we are looking at doubling our efforts to help raise funds for the Asia Center Foundation. The ACF have continued to support the underprivileged kids in their care as well as helping with the added burden of trying to feed and clothe their families. It has been a harrowing time for many around the world and here is an opportunity to make a difference again through rugby. We have a list of options below that Roelien from the ACF has provided. If you can help in anyway it will make a huge difference.

Phuket on the whole has suffered with the hotels, bars, restaurant’s and tourism businesses especially hard hit so the Phuket 10’s will help revive the economy and give these businesses a boost.

Unfortunately the Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas have decided to pull their sponsorship so we are left without one. If your interested in supporting local rugby drop us a line at phuketrugby@gmail.com

On another note the Phuket 10s organising team will be expanding their field of expertise by hosting a 10s tournament in Chiang Mai 23rd 24th October 2021. There will be a Men’s & Women’s Open competitions and a limited Vets Competition. Anyone interested in that tournament let me know.
