This Saturday Trafford MV 3rd XV will face yet another tough task as they close off their season at home against runaway League winners Stockport 3rds. In what has been a tough season for the 3rd XV the players need to remember the standard of many of the sides encountered along the way and the character of our players getting a team out for most games. It will serve you well for next season where the playing field will be more level.
The 3rds will close their season on our own MacPherson Park and the players would welcome your support as they look to end the season on a high. Stockport will be confident but could Trafford MV spoil their party ?
The forecast for the day is quite good so the prospect of playing on the show pitch in good conditions will be a treat for the players and spectators alike.
Join the players for a post match drink in the Clubhouse as our Centenary Rugby season closes off at home.
League Winner Champions titles for the Senior Men's and Ladies 1st XV's a 2nd XV pushing for promotion and a 3rds XV fielded for most games of the season - as a Club we will take that as very good in the current rugby climate.
