Darlington have already had Park so here is a quick summary of what’s a fixture cancelled hence the reverse order. happened. The 1st team certainly gave us A trip away to Old Elthamians in filthy weather Christmas presents aplenty in December with conditions made ball handling difficult. Once again three wins on the trot. The game against Bishop’s Cambridge attacked and took the possession stats Stortford was one of the best at Volac Park for a but just couldn’t get over the line with 12–7 being very long time. A ding-dong affair that finished in the final score. A point on the road is always a Hollywood fashion with high drama at the end, a welcome consolation prize. kick to win the match.

They with a half time lead of 21–13, Loughborough are without doubt a very well drilled side who looked to be the stronger side and we retired deserve their 4th place position and could well for hot refreshments wondering whether any move into 3rd place once they have caught up points would be coming our way. That was not on their fixtures. It looks as though they can’t the thought process of the Blood and Sand Boys catch Coventry now but I’m sure they will be a who set the plastic pitch on fire with great team contender for promotion next season if they keep management and discipline. Penalties flowed as up their current form. Lets hope the Blood and Loughborough started to get raggy and the tries Sand can get the winning streak going again and soon followed. A great turn around and jubilation we look forward to a great contest. for the Cambridge faithful who appeared to outnumber the Loughborough supporters 2–1.

Welcome to the Ruby’s World...

Two years ago, Cambridge Rugby Club acknowledged that there was nowhere in the local area for girls aged 11 and over to play rugby; they acted. On the 23rd November 2016 the first taster session for girls was held, for girls between 12 and 18. That was just the beginning. The 2017/8 season started with over fifty girls registered following the tremendous effort of John Creighton, coaches and parents. Today we have a strong squad of U13, U15 and U18’s, including five players involved in Eastern Counties. All the girls are dedicated, enthusiastic and hard working. This is shown in the tremendous improvement they are making from week to week. The girls have become such an important part of the club they have appointed me as the first the festival. They have bonded so well as a team and Women’s Chair of Cambridge. We have great plans the camaraderie is inspirational. for girl’s rugby! Today we announce the launch of The U18 Rubies have been joined this season by the new name for the Lady’s section, the Cambridge some Hills Road players which has really helped Rubies (because they are Red and Precious) boost the numbers. They have been very helpful The U13 Rubies have become a close-knit in the mixed age group sessions respecting the group of friends coached by Jay and Alfie. Jay capabilities of the younger players.

On 26th November 2017 we hosted an accessible to every girl and woman who wants to Eastern Counties development festival. Cambridge play. In January 2016 the RFU launched the ‘Meet recovered from a first-round loss to go on and win your inner Warrior’ Campaign to attract girls into rugby. Cambridge has impressively been awarded one of these Inner Warrior camps running today starting at 11am, it is a chance for all girls to try out rugby in a fun setting with experienced coaches who will teach introductory skills and drills for rugby. Afterwards the girls and parents will stay to watch the Cambridge Men’s 1st Team, some of whom have been a great help in coaching the girls. To join in the girls just needed to register at www.Englandrugby.com and find the inner warrior page. They just turn up with trainers, hockey boots, football boots or whatever, to have some fun and make some new mates. Personally, for me, rugby has always been a game for everyone of every shape and size and ability. It’s also a great way to make life-long friends and find out who you are.
