Veseyans Women

Exciting news for the season ahead! 💚🩷🖤

We’re delighted to announce that we’ll be competing in NC3 League as Sutton Veseyans Women, playing as one team with Sutton Coldfield.

This is a fantastic step forward that will create even more opportunities for our players, helping to support development at every level while providing regular, competitive Rugby throughout the season.

We’ll be playing home and away fixtures, with matches taking place both at Sutton and at our home ground, with switching grounds.

The final round of the 2026 Staffordshire Mixed Touch Series arrived in Stafford on Friday 17th July and saw the biggest number of entrants of the Summer with 10 teams touching off!

Veseyans first game was against Lichfield and the big pitches were an adjustment we took time to adapt to. Callum Fletcher arrived on time and lead the defensive line well if quietly. Late on we went 0-1 down and as Jack Courage, Dave Dwyer and Sam Bartlett searched for the equaliser on their try line an unfortunate interception gave our opponents a second with Andrew Payne walking on for ten seconds in the massively shortened game.

Our second game was against perennial opponents Essington and their great touch tactics saw them beat us 1-4 as they isolated defenders despite hard work from Lawrence Springgate and a Nick Yates tantrum with Alex Shepherd’s darting inside run and dive getting our try and securing his top scorer of the series title taking it off last Summer’s winner Andrew Payne.

Our third game was a tight contest against a strong Rugeley side and an Ethan Taylor weaving score saw us 1-0 up for the majority before we were beaten out wide late on to draw 1-1.

Our final group game was against the talented hosts Stafford. Played in the right spirit we lead from the start with a penalty try and held out valiantly for 5 minutes with Ben Hale and Theo Dwyer showing their massive improvements before the floodgates broke and we conceded 4 but the highlight of the night was to come. A try two years in the making saw Claire Payne diving to score in the corner (like a salmon) after Olivia Breakenridge drew the defenders and skipper Adam Dugmore popped her the ball. Engulfed by her team mates in a massive show of support for “This Girl Can”. The touch side can’t wait to repay the favour and travel to support Izzy Borg at Lichfield Ladies and Olivia at Worcester next season!

Our final game saw us make Essington our most regular opponents as we faced them again and despite continuing our night of great performances we went down 2-3. Adam Dugmore scored both as despite finishing 10th we had a fun night of rugby. Their third try was an interception and our late chance to equalise was spurned by a poor Andrew Payne pass as he didn’t realise Olivia wasn’t 9 foot tall!

Well done to Cannock on winning again. 3rd win of the series so overall champs for the Summer! Touch will carry on as we seek to give competitive, enjoyable playing opportunities to those who want it. Awards and Season Appearance Statistics to follow…

Player of the Night: Adam Dugmore with two tries and two assists. Eejit of the Evening: Andrew Payne for his horrendous pass.
