Pride Round

Plymouth Dolphins will be representing at Exeter Chiefs home Sandy Park on Saturday April 18th!

This is an opportunity for us to showcase our culture and achievements in Devon’s biggest rugby platform!

#UniteTackleChange

From Exeter Chiefs:

Promoting Inclusivity in Rugby - As we approach Round 14 of Gallagher Premiership Rugby (18th–20th April), we ask all clubs to dedicate their communication channels to LGBTQ+ Pride Round.

This initiative which renames Round 14 celebrates the LGBTQ+ community and champions inclusivity and representation of LGBTQ+ fans.

Once again, we are partnering with International Gay Rugby (IGR) to build on the successful partnerships created with Premiership clubs and local IGR teams to encourage support from a grassroots level.

This year, we are asking for clubs to support us in a call to action – Unite. Tackle. Change. – which aims to stamp out discrimination amongst rugby fans, either witnessed or experienced.

Our goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment for all supporters. We want to drive awareness and understanding that discrimination is not acceptable and together we can drive meaningful change.
