UPDATE - Rugby Preview - It was a very BIG Chippenham weekend

MATTHEW STEPHEN3 Dec 2024 - 11:24

League and Cup matches galore this weekend, combined with a Festive Vice-Presidents Lunch!!

Its all getting rather festive at Allington Fields and the Clubhouse Team have certainly got into the Christmas spirit. This Saturday, we look forward to welcoming our brilliant Club Vice-Presidents to a lunch prior to the 1sts game against Thornbury and this will be sure to be a big event!! Carriages booked late...

Sadly, Thornbury are unable to travel due to the Storm and this match has been postponed - The VP Lunch will still continue. Chippenham welcome Thornbury to Allington Fields on Saturday and this is bound to be a great game between two attacking teams. Chippenham are currently league leaders and now opened a 6 point gap after last weeks win over Trowbridge and face Thornbury, who sit in 6th place, after a mixed start to the season in Regional 2 Severn. The visitors may have won 5 of the 10 matches played but their attacking style has produced 9 Try Bonus Points and they will always prove dangerous opponents. Chippenham will be checking the injuries this week and dont need any more additions to the physio's couch but will feel confident of producing a strong performance in front of a very partisan crowd packing the steps and full of Port... 3.00pm KO

Chippenham 2nds head over to our friends at Devizes for a classic Wiltshire derby. Last week, the 2nds put in yet another strong performance but are smarting after coming away with no points against Bassett. That one hurt and the squad will take that into this match against the team sitting 2nd in the league. But league position means nothing on the day and even Devizes recognise Chippenham 2nds are 'Ever Improving', so the squad look forward to continue that progress and turn the tables. 2.00pm KO

We confirm the 3rds match is postponed due waterlogged pitch at Cricklade After an impressive win last week, Chippenham 3rds are away at Cricklade on Saturday and Brendons Army plan to continue the upward march. This is sure to be a great game as playing Cricklade is always entertaining and high-scoring games, as demonstrated the last time the sides met. Chippenham look forward to keeping the winning trend. 2.30pm KO

On Sunday, both U18's Squad are in league action and looking very strong;

Chippenham Girls U18s are away at Cinderford U18s in the GRFU League and will be taking a strong squad up to the Forest of Dean - 2.00pm KO

Chippenham Academy are also in league action and determined to remain unbeaten this season. They are away at Old Reds Colts in the GRFU League - South and the squad look forward to heading over to Bristol - 2.00pm KO

A very big shout out for Chippenham Girls U16s who are unbeaten this season and playing the final league match of the National U16 Cup on Sunday. They welcome Havant U16's to Allington Fields on Sunday and the winner will progress to the Knock-out stage of the competition. Chippenham are looking forward to this challenge.

U12 Away v St Brendans OB's
U13 Away v Trowbridge
