As we wrap up the 24/25 season, our teams throughout the club look to mark the occasion, celebrating their successes in a variety of ways. For the club as a whole this season, we've seen so many highlights: playing touring teams, big club events, even some silverware!! Now we see how the squads have celebrated!!
1st XV and Colts
Our 1st XV took the traditional route, marking the season with an awards and a messy celebration in the clubhouse. Though not the result we wanted looking at the league table, the season saw over 30 new debuts into the 1st XV squad and now shows real promise as we take on a new league of teams next season!!

U13’s
Our U13's probably took one of the more adventurous routes in celebrating their season, travelling away on tour to Ledbury.
