WORCESTER Wanderers leave today for their end-of-season tour to Cyprus.

Thirty players and eight support staff will play three fixtures.

Tomorrow sees Wanderers playing a United Nations Forces side in north Cyprus.

On Tuesday, the squad cross into the Greek part of Cyprus to play a British Forces XV.

The final match is against Cyprus Pumas, the only rugby club in north Cyprus, who play their fixtures in the Turkish Premiership.

The original invitation to tour came from the American University at Girne and has been put together by tour manager Dick Cumming and Worcester member Matthew Jenkinson, now living in Cyprus.

The amateurs of Wanderers link the booming mini and junior section of Worcester and the professionals of Warriors.

This is the squad's first big overseas tour which has been heavily subsidised by members of the club.
