On behalf of the General Management Committee I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year. I hope that you and families have had a great Festive break.

This weekend the Men’s 1st XV, Dev XV and the Senior Women return to league action.

I am also delighted to announce that the Men’s 1st XV have also been awarded the ‘Tribute Team of the Month’ for December and will be presented with their award next week by Dave Mcateer on behalf of South West RFU.
Many congratulations to the coaches Andrew Symons and Jack Warren and all the players.
The Men’s teams have important and challenging league matches away at Buckingham and Henley. The Men’s 1st XV will be looking to continue their winning run to consolidate second place in the league and to get revenge against a side that they lost against earlier in the season. The Men’s Dev XV are away at Henley 3rd XV, who are top of OBB Counties 3.

The Senior Women have an important game away against Marlow who sit just one place above Windsor in the league.
