🐎 | GETTING READY FOR THE SEASON

Your Ranger boys continue pre-season preparations this weekend with a fixture we’ve missed over the past couple of years

Resurgent Thetford Rugby Club head to Robinson Field for what is sure to be a tough battle

Bradley Sedgwick is your cover star for this week. Brad’s still on the look out for a sponsor, so if you fancy your name on our social media throughout the season DM him or get in touch with [email protected]

Game kicks off at 3pm, and the bar is open throughout

⚡️| THE BOLT

Elliot Harvey-Evers is a nightmare for opposition backlines. His electric footwork and lightning pace leave them grasping at thin air… and he sports a haircut that makes him stand out too

Elliot has been a revelation in a Rangers shirt, and we’re keen to see what he can do this year too!

In fact, he’s so good he has not one, but two sponsors, as both Charlie Harvey-Evers and .j.owenlimeandlisted wanted to be associated with him (and honestly, who can blame them!?)

Pick up your own Ranger in the usual way…

🌟 | THE RISING STAR

Jacob Dube - the man who can’t handle his drink, but is always first to accept a fine. A pretty bad combination all told, and there is plenty of evidence in the Group Chat to attest to that

Jacob is a player of extraordinary talent, a fly half trapped in a prop’s body. His desire to chip and chase well outweighs his desire to get down and scrum, which is quite a challenge to the front row union

A brilliant new addition to the Ranger family, Dube really leads the charge for the new generation, and ensures Thurston keeps its status as the number one social club in Suffolk ☝️

Cambridge Cyber Advisors sponsor Jacob this session. As with all our sponsors, we really value and appreciate their support

🐮 | THE BEEFCAKE

Sean Handleigh may have the unblemished good looks and physique of a back, but (fun fact) he actually drops balls equally well in either the second row or back row of the pack…

Sean is the other half of the Cawston/Handleigh love in this season, so we asked George for some words to describe him

Rather worryingly George says “Sean’s my new athletic bitch and I can’t wait to bully him all season. What he lacks in hands he makes up in deep tissue massages”… there’s an endorsement if ever you wanted one

The sponsor is Cawston Carpentry who provide specialist sub contract work to the building and renovation trade, with a particular focus on historic restoration. Thank you for the support this year

🍆 | THE NAKED ONE

This next pair of Rangers are generously sponsoring each other, so we thought we’d get the sponsor’s view on the sponsee…

George Cawston is sponsored by Sean Handleigh of Habit Training, and of course we are grateful of that

Sean tells us that George is like a fart in a cinema… silent but deadly. We know him as the Ranger most likely to get naked when protocol demands… or at any other time he sees fit. All in good taste of course

On the pitch, George has been a cornerstone of the first team since he was a teenager, and we reckon he has another couple of seasons in him

are a group training gym that focuses on helping people find the balance between healthy habits that last and living the lifestyle you like. Creating an environment of accountability and motivation

They also provide excellent social media content…

Best of luck for the year ahead boys

🔥 | WARMING UP

We’re all as disappointed as you that the season’s been delayed… but it will be worth the wait!

In the meantime, your Ranger boys will be tuning up this weekend against old friends/mortal enemies Thetford Rugby Club at Robinson Young Limited sponsored Robinson Field

Game kicks off at 3pm, bar fully operational throughout, so no excuse not to head down and watch the boys in action

🔁 | CHANGE OF TRAINING DAYS

This week only, Ranger training is Wednesday and Thursday. The boys are prepping up for this weekend’s pre-season game v Thetford

👑 | THE KARAOKE KING

Declan PJ on the mic is a thing of beauty, as all Ranger boys who’ve shared a bus trip with him can confirm

On the pitch, Dec’s ability to reel in the most difficult of passes is also pretty special… it’s just the dollys that he needs to work on

Since he’s been at the club, Declan has thrown himself into club activity and has been a driving force in the 2s for the past couple of seasons…

Declan is sponsored by Inflata Fun Entertainment, who specialise in bringing fun to every event they attend with brilliant bouncy castles and games… we are so grateful for the support for Dec and the club this season
