A massive well done and congratulations to Sam Laird who came on off the bench to become an offical capped Royal Navy Senior Player in the victorious match against the French Marine Nationale.

As many know Sam has played a massive part in the current playing position and form of the 1st XV. He was an integral member of Andy "The Main Man" Turvey's 2008/2009 promotion winning 1st XV and has been with Buckingham for many years through the youth section and onwards, and is still playing for the Mighty Buck when he can.

Hopefully, Sam can now go on to secure his position in the senior squad for a place in the Army vs Navy game at Twickenham on 7th May - I for one would put him in the team, if only for his boat-race abilities after the game!!

But seriously, a massive well done from everyone at the club and good luck to you and Rach with your imminent arrival..
