In preparation for our 125th Anniversary dinner our shop is now stocked with these fantastic ties. Why not bundle up with a new item of stash like our warm up t-shirt for the warmer weather!

Special Message
You may be aware that unfortunately, our sport has had another devastating blow.
20-year-old Maddy "Twinkle toes" Lawrence sustained an injury whilst playing for UWE on Wednesday 9th March and was admitted to hospital. Unfortunately during her time in hospital, she picked up a bacterial infection which worsened causing her to lose her life.
We wish all members to take a minute "Applause" prior to their games this weekend in honour of her memory.
As a society our thoughts go out to her friends, teammates and family members.
7's Season Begins
We have had a couple of Super Sundays this season, but March brought us 2 HUGE super Sundays. Oakham and Uppingham both hosted their annual 7's tournaments resulting in over 60 games of 7's over the 2 Sundays. Our society are fortunate to be asked along once again after a couple of years off, Guy and Luke taking part in both!
The rain stayed away for both weekends would you believe. So out with the washout cloggy 7's and in with the champagne sun shining 7's without having to get on a plane to Dubai!
The Uppingham Team
Luke Thompson, Phil Carter, Simon Hinks, Guy Gasper, David Cox, Elanor Wilkinson and Paul Tilley
The Oakham Team
Pete Conor, George Richardson, Guy Gasper, Billy Richards, Mark Eliott, Luke Thompson, Greg Biddle and Andrew Torrens
Thank you also to Mr Chairman who was assigned as referee co-ordinator for Oakham, but stepped in to fill the 8 man team.
The staff at both Uppingham and Oakham pass on their sincere thanks for 2 very enjoyable days of rugby. If you fancy being part of any upcoming 7's tournaments please get in touch with the relevant fixtures secretaries when they reach out. Would be great to have more referees out on sundays supporting the variety of rugby we have upcoming this and next season.
