Mens 1st XV vs Buckingham 3rd XV

After two merry weekends tucked inside the rugby club watching the Six Nations, an elite group of Littlemore players braved the stormy conditions to take on a strong Buckingham side. Unfortunately, I was not able to travel to this match so what follows will be a much abbreviated report. Buckingham opened up the game with …

Littlemore minis hosted Grove at home today

Littlemore welcomed Grove U7&9 today in the usual fashion. It was a glorious sunny day yet cold morning and the evil coaches made then all lap the pitch. Then subjected them to crawling along the ground in some warm up games. I could only see smiles, so lots of fun must have been had by …

Littlmore minis flying the flags for Oxford uni and the England U20 squads

This Saturday Littlemore RFC minis were invited to wave the flags and usher the Oxford Blues and the potential future players for the England national team, as Oxford blues took on the England U20 at the Iffly road rugby ground in front of an approx 2000 strong crowd.

This friendly started well but I’m unsure if the term friendly had been passed on to the players with both teams giving it their all. England drew first blood but oxford coming back fighting minutes later. However, it was the England who won out the day with final score of 24-54.

A fantastic day was had by all and the kids of littlemore RFC were great ambassadors for our club. We look forward to repeating this in the future.

From the start, …

Littlemore 1st XV having played against Harwell

The grey skies over Oxfordshire today stood in stark contrast to the fireworks on the pitch during today’s match at Harwell. With both teams slightly short of players, an agreement was reached: both teams started with 12 players, dropping both flankers and one back. This ensured there would be gaps in defences and opportunities to …
