Our U16's, 15's and U14's have all won their games to go through to the next round.

The beautiful game on a beautiful but cold evening

All three teams have progressed to the Semi Finals of the Warwickshire Cup.
The results and website reports are all listed below, the U16's and U15's both played on Friday 15th December and the U14's on Sunday morning.

After a week of snow, coaches were a little nervous as to whether the games would go ahead, fortunately the pitches had thawed enough to host very competitive games, which were closer than the scores suggest. As the Friday evening actually got colder, the rugby actually increased in tempo and temperature to compensate, so there were plenty of tries and OL's took advantage of the home fixtures.

Under 16s beat Leamington 58-0 under floodlights on Friday 15th December, website report here

Under 14s beat Newbold 53-0 on Sunday 17th December, a wet morning but again a good display of flowing rugby with plenty of action for the spectators.

Old Leamingtonians RFC has invested in the facilities, in order to allow these important fixtures to take place and to support the development of M&J rugby across Warwickshire.
The club looks forward to supporting the teams in the Semi-finals.
Many thanks also to the organisers of the cup and the Warwickshire Junior Cup Committee
