DORSET will be treated to some more 'sand-astic' beach action this month with two more tag Rugby evenings.

Throughout the summer, there has been a series of successful beach rugby events in the county with the aim of widening participation across all ages and genders through the non-contact rugby based sport.

Sandbanks Beach in Poole will host the final two beach rugby festivals on Thursdays' August 14 and 28.

The event will be supported by the Rugby Football Union and run in conjunction with 2CRFM radio station and the Borough of Poole. Action commences at 6.30pm and goes on until 9pm with tag rugby festivals for both children and adults. You can just turn up on the night with or without a team.

There will also be food stands and refreshment tents, a live band and the evening will reach its climax with a fireworks display at 10pm.
