Every year, on 27th December, we invite returning players from University or work further afield to put on their boots and grace The Davey Field once more for our Festive Match Up game.

We're pleased to say that the Festive Match Up will still go ahead in some form. Depending on government and RFU guidelines, we're intent on providing the #PeacockFamily with some sort of seasonal rugby offering.

As it stands, we would even be able to welcome a limited number of spectators to the match. However, the situation will require constant monitoring up until the event so that we can be sure that whatever we do is safe and within the guidelines.

We don't expect the game to be full-contact rugby as we once knew it, but we have been dreaming slightly and have even devised two Full XV's:
