After last weekend’s heartbreak, Cambridge Rugby Club is ready to pick themselves up and show what they’re made of. This Saturday, they’ll be playing their first ever RFU Championship home game at Ellgia Fields, and they’re determined to make it a memorable one. Director of rugby and head coach Richie Williams is excited about the opportunity to showcase the club’s talent and spirit. He’s hoping for a big crowd to support the team, and although they may not get the same numbers as the Premiership Cup, the fans have been enthusiastic in their previous home games. Williams also mentioned that the club is working hard to improve the matchday experience for the supporters.
In their last match against Ampthill, Cambridge came close to victory with tries from Ben Brownlie, Kieran Duffin, and Morgan Veness. However, a last-minute try from Ampthill dashed their hopes. Williams acknowledged that it was a game that slipped away, but he’s proud of the team’s effort and believes they could have come away with a win. Despite the disappointment, the team is ready to dust themselves off and move forward.
The upcoming game against Doncaster Knights is expected to be a tough one, but Cambridge is prepared for the challenge. Williams mentioned that Doncaster is a big club and will likely bring a good following. However, the team is looking forward to the matches against local rivals Bedford and Ampthill, as they anticipate strong support from the home crowd.
Cambridge Rugby Club is determined to make their mark in the RFU Championship. They’ve come a long way as a club, and this season marks their centenary year. With the support of their loyal fans and the hard work of the players and management, they’re ready to face any obstacles that come their way. The loss against Ampthill was a setback, but it has only fueled their determination to succeed. The team is focused on improving their performance and making their home games at Ellgia Fields a memorable experience for everyone involved.
As the club continues to grow and evolve, they aim to create a strong sense of community and camaraderie. They want the supporters to feel a part of something special and to be proud of their team. With each game, Cambridge Rugby Club is writing a new chapter in their history, and they’re excited to see what the future holds.
So, mark your calendars and head down to Ellgia Fields this Saturday to cheer on Cambridge Rugby Club. It’s going to be a thrilling match, filled with passion, determination, and the unwavering spirit of the team. Let’s show our support and help Cambridge bounce back on their home turf!
