Law Society RFC Festival of Sport expands with new events for 2025

The annual Law Society RFC Festival of Sport is set to take place on Sunday 21 September at Richmond Athletic Ground, with 44 law and financial services firms confirmed to compete

This year sees the introduction of women’s 5-a-side football, joining men’s football, rugby, netball, and mixed tag tournaments.

Defending champions Cameron McKenna Nabarro Olswang (men’s football; pictured), Norton Rose Fulbright (mixed tag), and Lloyd’s of London (netball) return to defend their titles, while the men’s rugby 7s and women’s football will crown new winners. Irish firm William Fry continues its long-standing participation, while Le Rugby Club du Palais, representing France, will once again challenge UK teams in rugby 7s.

Brockwell Capital remains a key sponsor, providing match balls, with Addleshaw Goddard now sponsoring referee and umpire shirts. Tournament director Daniel How highlights the growing popularity of the event, stating, ‘It’s great to see the tournament expanding again.’

Limited team spaces remain, with entries closing at the end of June. The organisers are also seeking a sponsor for the Fair Play Award, which celebrates sportsmanship throughout the competition.

For further information on the Tournament itself, to enter a team, or sponsorship opportunities, please contact Daniel at: lawsocietyrugby7s@yahoo.co.uk.co.uk or on 07889 641 939.
