Thornbury Development XV forwards Henry Low, Jake Goodridge and Henry Hayett made their debuts for Gloucestershire U18s in a friendly with Buckinghamshire. Although the side was well-beaten the Gloucestershire forwards, coached by Thornbury’s Jonny Wilson, had the edge over their opponents and the three Thornbury players put in committed performances they should be proud of.

Gloucestershire U18s County Championship fixtures are:
Saturday 22nd October Gloucestershire v Devon 11am K.O at Bristol Grammar School
Sunday 30th October Gloucestershire v Somerset 11am K.O at Bristol Grammar School
