Just a quick Rugby Update!
Pre-season training has been fantastic and well attended this year!
With the national heatwave, the pitches up and down the country became too hard to play rugby on, so the RFU postponed the start of the competitive rugby season by two weeks.
https://www.englandrugby.com/follow/news-and-media/statement-start-competitive-community-rugby-season
All being well and good, the season's first grassroots competitive rugby games will be played from the week of the 21st September - most matches being played the weekend of the 26th September
This doesn’t (if the ground is playable) stop pre-season friendlies - We were planning a double-header away friendly fixture with Woodbridge RUFC on the 22nd August, Senior Men's game and the Woodbridge Amazons v Ipswich YM Wyverns.
Both clubs agreed to push the matches back a little, and if the variable weather continues, hopefully the two games will take place on the 5th September at Hatchley Barn.
The Y&J rugby season will start as planned at 10 am on Sunday 6th September; everybody there is looking forward to getting back to rugby
Our senior men's updated fixtures will soon be completed and come through from Eastern Counties; the 1st XV are through; we’re just waiting for the Hawks fixtures. Once they are with us, we’ll publish both sets of updated matches.
Wyverns have their first game on the 18th October at Bury St Edmunds II, before their first home fixture on Sunday 15th November!
Not surprisingly, a slow start to the 2026/27 season, but player safety has to come first
Please, earmark the 5th September for our double-header friendly at Woodbridge RUFC;
We’re looking forward to seeing you pitchside soon!
