Its certainly a busy one this weekend!!
Chippenham RFC are playing away on Saturday and head over to the north of Bristol and take on Thornbury 2.30pm KO. This will be a real tough one, regardless that both sides are sitting at opposite ends of the table, with Thornbury battling to remain in the league and chasing every point available. At home, they are a difficult opponent and will be sure to mount a challenge but is dependant on the team they assemble - They will probably be a bit sore afer the score between both sides.. Chippenham will have an opportunity to bounce back after the disappointing outcome from the last league match and are strongly focused on finishing top of the league, which is possible if Drybrook slip up...
Allington Fields will be rocking on Saturday as the rejuvinated Chippenham 2nds welcome Devizes 1sts. With just 2 games left in the season and league survival the clear goal, Chippenham will be throwing everything at this game, including the proverbial kitchen sink. The battle at the bottom is really tight and Chippenham need to get the most out of this before they head over to Frome for the final league match. We look forward to welcoming a Past Players Reunion Lunch being served at 1.00pm before the main event on the AGP, with a 3.00pm - We ask all Chippenham supporters to get out and make the difference on Saturday and ensure the 2nds get the most from this match. Last match earlier in the season ended in a 12-12 draw..
Hope the stocks of Port are plentiful because this is the final league match of the season and sure Chippenham 3rds will want to high on a winning note!! Brendon's Army have had an impressive season and on Saturday they welcome Royal Wootton Bassett 4ths to Allington Fields but those Bassett boys wont just be making up the numbers. This will be a real Rugby match kicking off at 2.30pm and we're expecting a packed crowd to wrap up the 2024/25 season.
