Lincolnshire Lancers RUFC
Meet our Chairperson
Jamie Walmsley
(he/him)
​Hello! I'm Jamie and my pronouns are he/him. Thank you for visiting our website!
We have been running since August 2022 and our purpose is to create a safe, inviting space for LGBTQ+ people and allies to enjoy rugby. We recognise that growing up, sport might have been a difficult place for you. We aim to change that! Our focus is fun. You don't need any previous experience playing rugby. Haven't picked up a ball since school? Haven't picked up a ball ever? That's fine - we will teach you everything you need to know!
We are part of the IGR (International Gay Rugby) and have just completed our first Series Competition where we competed against other teams from across the country.
Many of our members didn't picture themselves as "rugby players" when they started. But getting stuck into the training sessions and coming along to the socials - there's no looking back.
I'm passionate about inclusive rugby and what it can do for you. If you have any questions or want someone to geek over gay rugby with - I'm your man.
