Saturday 31st August

1st XV
This coming Saturday club members & supporters will get the opportunity to see the first team in action for the first time this season when they travel to Wilmslow for a Cheshire cup tie.
It will be a tough game to start the season with, Wilmslow were in North Premier division last season but were relegated at the end of the season to North 1 West.
The team would no doubt apricate as much support as possible at Wilmslow next Saturday, the weather forecast is very good for next weekend so why take yourselves off into the Cheshire countryside and support the team.

Club XV vs Combined Services XV
If you can’t make it as far as Wilmslow next Saturday there is a game on at Vauxhall’s, a team made up from our 2nd & 3rd team squads are playing a Combined Services team with a 1pm kick off.
The game has been organised by one of our veteran players Steve Stockford a former guardsman.

Steve tells me there will be a presentation prior to the game, an organisation called “The Widows sons masonic motorcycle association” have raised funds to buy a defibrillator for the combined services.
The defibrillator will be presented to the Combined Services prior to the match.

After the game Steve is planning to run a raffle to raise funds for “Winnie Mabaso” foundation, which is a young girls orphanage in South Africa that does great work in poor areas a fantastic charity.

We need as many people as possible to bring raffle prizes to help the Winnie Mabaso Foundation, any donation of prizes, bottles of booze, boxes of chocolates etc would be much appreciated.

The Combined Service Barbarians players are coming from all over the country and the majority are serving or ex members of HM Forces.

Let’s make this a great occasion for the club, please spread the word about the game and get a great crowd to Vauxhall’s on Saturday afternoon.

Any donated raffle prizes will help to raise money for a great Charity and show everyone what a great club we have.
