Perfection for Ladies

THE senior teams at Thornbury rugby club had varying levels of success in the closing weeks of the season.

The First XV suffered a bizarre series of injuries, which decimated the squad for the last few league matches of the season.

As a consequence, Thorns lost three of their last four games but finished third in the Regional 2 Tribute Severn League table at the end.

There was disappointment in the final position, and sadness that the great Jak Evans hung up his boots after being a magnificent player for over a decade.

The Second XV had a fine season and only lost once.

However it is the Ladies team that take the plaudits, for winning their league with a 100% record, having won every game.

The Colts were runner-up in their GRFU league. A young side, they did very well and played some outstanding rugby.

The club also suffered from a chaotic end-of-season cup competition, which could have been run better by the authorities and saw Thornbury, and others, ending up with two games on the same day.

The club can now look forward to a couple of months off before pre-season training starts in July.
