  • There's something magical about the combination of sports and music that elevates the human spirit. With this belief, the inaugural Midlands 9s Rugby League Tournament and Music Festival was bornβ€”an event that promised to mix the adrenaline of rugby league with the soul-soothing melodies of live music. And, oh, what an adventure it was!

    In the weeks leading up to the festival, the tension and excitement were tangible. The brainchild of Craig and Karl, hosts of the "Rugby League Outsiders" podcast, the Midlands 9s aimed to bring something new to the rugby league scene. It was not just a tournament; it was a celebration, a gathering of rugby league enthusiasts from all corners of the UK, ready to enjoy a weekend of sport, music, and camaraderie.

    Despite facing numerous challenges, including illnesses and last-minute logistical nightmares, the duo's spirit never wavered. They juggled everything from team coordination to vendor management, all while battling the relentless British weather. The festival was a testament to their dedication, a labour of love that pushed them to their limits.

    Imagine a world where sports and music come together to create magic. That's exactly what happened at the first-ever Midlands 9s Rugby League Tournament and Music Festival!

    This incredible event was dreamed up by Craig and Karl, the awesome hosts of the "Rugby League Outsiders" podcast. They wanted to bring something super cool to the world of rugby league, and boy, did they succeed!

    Before the festival even started, you could feel the excitement buzzing in the air. People from all over the UK were getting ready for a weekend filled with rugby, music, and fun times with friends.

    Despite facing some tough challenges like illnesses and tricky logistics, Craig and Karl never gave up. They worked super hard to make sure everything was perfect for the big day.

    And when the tournament finally kicked off, it was non-stop action! Teams from all over the Midlands showed off their skills and sportsmanship, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats.

    We saw some amazing moments, like the awesome RAF ladies' team showing off their skills, the Midlands Hurricanes women playing their very first match, and the Sherwood and Loughborough teams giving it their all.

    And when the sun went down, the rugby field turned into a concert stage! Bands like the Stiff Meisters and The Mardi Bums rocked the night away, making everyone dance and sing along.

    The Mardi Bums especially blew everyone away with their incredible performance. It was the perfect ending to an unforgettable day.

    As the festival came to an end, Craig and Karl looked back on all the hard work they put in. But they also knew it was totally worth it. The Midlands 9s was more than just a festivalβ€”it was a journey that brought people together and celebrated the things they loved.

    For everyone who was there, whether playing rugby, singing, dancing, or just soaking in the awesome atmosphere, the Midlands 9s was a reminder of how awesome community, competition, and music can be.

    And who knows? Maybe there will be even more amazing adventures like this in the future. But for now, let's just say cheers to the Midlands 9sβ€”an adventure we'll never forget!
