Berkshire Unicorns 1st XV are the foundation of the club and compete in the IGR UK Southern League against other Inclusive teams.
The team welcomes people from all backgrounds and our focus is on inclusivity and fun, and so far, this has been a winning combination for us, with the Unicorns finishing in the top 2 of our league for the last two years.
Many of our player have not picked up a rugby ball since their school days or felt unwelcome at traditional rugby clubs but have found a home here at the Unicorns. Other players have been involved in rugby for 30+ years and we're lucky enough to have a number of experienced coaches and rugby veterans supporting us on and off the pitch, helping our team develop and looking after the safety of our players.
This really is a game for all shapes and sizes and all kinds of player and there’s a position for everyone in a 15-a-side team.
Our contact team also play in various tournaments and competitions around the UK and world, at international events such as the Bingham and Union Cup and once a year we host an event for IGR teams, the Unity Cup.
Competition is a fundamental but still fun aspect of rugby union and being part of a team playing regularly against opposition which tests your skill and fitness levels brings tremendous enjoyment and camaraderie, but we recognise that it's not everyone's focus and encourage new players to go at their own pace.
For those of you thinking of joining us, rest assured that our experienced coaches will never put new players into games before they are ready and happy to play.
