National League: Club Watch
The final Club Watch of the month is here so what has been going on at some of our teams in the National Leagues over the past seven days?
National One
Bishops Stortford RFC
Bishop’s Stortford are hosting a charity clay pigeon shoot on Sunday 9th December, raising money for Accuro, a charity who support people with disabilities. There will be 10 teams of four at £180 per team, with four flushes of 50 clays. There will even be stands open for the public to have a go at just £10 for 10 clay pigeons.
Cambridge RUFC
Cambridge’s Alan Banks lined up for two games of rugby in four days at the age of 72. Winning both of these games as well, Alan is the definition of a club legend.
Also, a former President of the club, Banks played pretty much every minute of both games. A true reminder about why we love the game.
