They’ve done it again - a big thanks to the team at FCD Sportswear for our match shorts, going back to the traditional white shorts of the old Leicester Thursday sides.

The shorts are emblazoned with the logos of our sponsors - The Dogs pub company David Johnson Builders Ideal Building & Joinery Services Limited Paul Raul Butterworth Wilford and Geeson Building & Joinery.

A massive thank you as ever for their support.

Tragically, following a fall, former Leicester Thursday and Belgrave Rugby Football Club player Dave Manship suffered a devastating spinal injury which has left him paralysed from the waist down and only 50% function in his hands.

Please help us to raise funds to support Dave and his family.

Our latest player profile is one of our youngest squad members Jonny Farrell. Jonny has bought into the Thursday ethos brilliantly and become a much loved regular.

Success in our first game of the season as we ran out 59-21 winners against Vipers Rugby Football Club.

Well done to all the lads who donned the famous shirt. 13 Leicestershire sides were represented and there was a fantastic atmosphere amongst the troops.

Thanks to all for their support and Vipers for being great hosts.
