Post-Match Raffle
Anyone who has attended first XV home games in recent years will remember been accosted after the game by the late David Wilde and being politely encouraged to buy a raffle ticket, first prize usually a bottle of Jameson’s Irish whiskey.

Hail, rain or shine Dave ran his post-match raffle and raised substantial funds for the club, club secretary Trevor Petterson has volunteered to take over Dave Wilde’s mantle and run a raffle after every first XV home game. Trevor is asking members to “Donate a bottle”, whilst playing at Vauxhall’s our only sources of income are membership subscriptions & any money we can raise from sponsorship SO every penny helps.
