Swanage & Wareham Rugby Football Club

Swanage & Wareham RFC, based in Wareham, Dorset, is a well-regarded rugby club with a rich history and a strong focus on community and excellence. Kate, the organiser, is thrilled to announce sponsorship for the club's three senior XV teams for the upcoming 2023/2024 season, highlighting the players' dedication and talent.

Recently, the club's first XV faced North Dorset, ending with a score of 30-8 to the opposition. The second XV had a walkover win as Ellingham and Ringwood couldn't field a team. The veterans' team kept hold of the Cottee Cup in a lively match, and the ladies' team triumphed over Portsmouth Valkeries with a 45-5 victory.

The Colts team also shone with a 22-5 win against Yeovil Colts. Looking ahead to the 2022/2023 season, there are exciting fixtures lined up. The first XV will play Sherborne (kick-off at 14:00), the third XV faces Dorchester's third XV, and the second XV will play Salisbury's third XV, both at 15:00. The ladies' team will again take on Portsmouth Valkeries at 07:01 and the Colts will face Bridport Colts at 13:00.
