This Saturday our Men's 1XV take on local rivals Broadstreet in a crucial league fixture. We expect a large crowd so please try and walk to the club or get a lift as parking will be limited. The outside Bar will be open and the Pie Oven will be full of delicious pitchside snacks!
You will no doubt be aware that we are also due to play Broadstreet in this season's Warwickshire Cup Final, despite both sides having yet to play a match in the competition. With a deadline to play the final being set for 20th November a proposal has been made to treat this Saturday's match as a double header to include the Cup final. Both Broadstreet and ourselves have 2XV sides involved in the main RFU leagues and as such, playing resources are already stretched. It has been agreed therefore by the County Cup Committee and both clubs, that the only solution is to use Saturday's result to decide the County Cup Winners.
Whilst we would normally prefer the Cup to be played in a one off match later in the season, we are also conscious that we would like to try and win it through a competive fixture (which Saturday certainly will be) as opposed to risking the competition being declared null and void.
We are also offering free entry to Wasps Season Ticket Holders for this match as a one off gesture of support for those who have sadly lost their weekly rugby fix. Please present your season ticket on the gate.
Kick Off remains at 3.00pm and there will not be any extra time should the sides be level at full time - the winners will be decided on number of tries scored should this be the case. The trophy will be presented to the winning captain at the clubhouse at the end of the league fixture.
Our Men's 2XV are also at home and also face local rivals in Pinley RFC. They will play at the Cow Patch - kick off is currently still 3pm although there are discussions to bring this forward slightly - we will update supporters on this via our social media channels and on this website.
Our Women's 1XV have a week off ahead of their trip to Barnsley on Saturday 5th November.
Don't forget that we have our 'Services' Pre Match Lunch on Saturday 12th November ahead of the Burton fixture. Please book your space via the events page on the website or e mail events@kenilworthrugby.co.uk
