Last weekend the Senior Men's Rugby held their end of season Awards and the celebration was enjoyed by all those present.
The season was full of mixed emotions through the Senior teams with the 1st XV saving themselves from relegation following last seasons promotion to ensure level 7 rugby for 2025/26.
The 2nds pushed hard for promotion pacing most of the season but fell away late on and then put in an excellent performance to just miss out in the Cup Final.
The 3rd XV battled hard all season - not just against the opposition teams but frequently hampered by lack of player availability in all 3 teams leaving the captains scratching about on match day morning ! Play just 1 more game than you did this season and it will make all the difference next season.
The Senior Men's Rugby Section Awards for 2024/25 are as below -
1st XV Players Player - Craig Collier
1st XV Moby Dick - Danny Burke
2nd XV Players Player - Jimmy Craven
