Southwold RFC’s roller coaster season may well be picking back up after a tough couple of months. An excellent 22 – 12, away win against Mersea Island on Saturday has boosted confidence levels in the injury hit squad, following a really encouraging, whole-club effort, which saw players coming out of 1st team retirement to do their bit for the Black and Golds from Sole Bay. A truly memorable win.

This weekend sees Southwold’s finest play host to league-leaders, Cantabrigians in the fourth round of the RFU Junior Vase competition. Southwold has never progressed this far in the competition, so it’s a big match and all support will be very welcome. The winners of the match will be only a handful of games away from running out at the RFU’s Headquarters at Twickenham, so there is much to play for in this non-league encounter!

We hope to have a number of players back from injury and this means that the Cambridge based visitors (who will undoubtedly be focussed on winning the Eastern Counties League Division 1 title), will have their work cut out in moving on the the next round.

The day (Saturday 21st January) promises a feast of rugby and good old-school hospitality at the clubhouse (The William Goddell Pavilion), so pop along to the Common at Southwold on Saturday if you fancy an afternoon of fun and entertainment.
