Primary Partner: Monday 8th Feb 2021 2021 Greene King IPA Championship Fixtures Following a Championship Clubs Committee meeting this morning, our first XV fixtures for the 2021 Championship Season have been confirmed by the RFU this afternoon. All of clubs will play each other once – either Home or Away, with the first games on Saturday 6th March and then 10 rounds through until Sat 29th May. The top two sides will then contest Play Off Finals on the 12th and 19th June to decide overall finishing position, with the winners promoted to the Gallagher Premiership for the 2021/22 season. Ampthill RUFC Fixtures: 6th March – Doncaster Knights (HOME) 13th March – Ealing Trailfinders (AWAY) 20th March – Nottingham (HOME) 27th March – BYE 10th April – Coventry (AWAY) 17th April – Hartpury RFC (HOME) 24th April - Cornish Pirates (AWAY) 1st May – Jersey Reds (HOME) 15th May – Saracens (AWAY) 22nd May – Richmond (Home) 29th May – Bedford Blues (AWAY) Whilst we remain hopeful of being allowed crowds in limited numbers towards the end of the season the club are exploring options to live stream our home games. More details will follow in due course. Head Coach, Paul Turner “This is a very tough draw for our boys who have only just resumed training under Phase 2 and not played any games since March 14th last year. The first two rounds of the competition being against full time professional teams who have been training full time and already been playing friendlies against Premiership sides, plus competing in the Trailfinders Cup will be a challenge. That said the boys are excited by the prospect and will just be pleased to cross the white line against teams of this calibre again. We are obviously disappointed not to be welcoming the three times European Champions Saracens to Dillingham Park, but we showed last year at Kingston Park that we aren’t phased by playing in Premiership Stadia. And of course, everyone will be looking forward to Round 10 and a derby with our good friends at the Blues with Bedfordshire bragging rights at stake.” The club will also be announcing two pre-season friendlies on Wednesday morning this week.

PROGRAMME £3 AMPTHILL V. COVENTRY 11TH JANUARY 2020 KICK OFF 1.45PM PRIMARY PARTNER SENIOR PARTNERS Primary Partner: Ampthill & District Community Rugby Club Limited Senior Partners: Dillingham Park, Woburn St, Ampthill, Bedford, MK45 2HX www.ampthillrufc.com Tel: 01525 403303 Vat Reg No. 196 7536 11 Registered in England and Wales 00629333 WELCOME Chairman’s welcome to Ealing Trailfinders For today’s Green King IPA Championship match and for the second time this season, we offer a warm Bedfordshire welcome to our friends from Coventry RUFC to Dillingham Park. You will probably know that Coventry have been here during the National 1 campaign but last year they played in the Green King IPA Championship finishing in 8th position. Coventry is not too far from Ampthill, so we hope to see a good following making the trip down to add to what is bound to be a great atmosphere. I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome the Mayor of Ampthill, Mr Ian Titman, the Lady Mayoress, Ms Maggie Fuller and the Mayor’s honourable guests to our club lunch. I hope you enjoy the day. Our last fixture against the visitors was at the Butts Park Arena where we were given a bit of a rugby lesson. The final score was 64-26 with the home side throwing the ball around and attacking from all over the park. Let us hope our defence holds firm today during the league encounter. Coventry currently lie in a very creditable 3rd place in the league, having won four matches and drawn one (two points behind Cornish Pirates in the 2nd spot).

John was a leading figure in the world of Rugby Union. He made 28 appearances for the County, a number of them as Captain, three Oxford Blues, captained England for whom he played 23 times.

A memorial service was held in Truro Cathedral in which Harvey Richards (TS1937-42) gave the address. ‘One of the truly ‘great’ names in world John Kendall Carpenter rugby. ‘Carps’ won 23 England caps (TS 1939-1943) and Ken James (TS English & RE (1949-1954), and was also a legendary teacher & rugby master, Oxford University Blue and Barbarian. 1942-1971) at one of the 1980 school centenary He served as President of the England celebrations RFU (1980-1981), the England Schools Rugby Football Union (1985-1990), and Cornwall RFU (1984-1987).
