To win a competition entered by the best 120 U’18s teams in the country is no mean achievement. Credit must be given to all the players, parents, and coaches for the culmination of many years of dedicated work that have built up to this final. A proud day for Olney RFC. A day that will stick in the memory for many years to come.

The game itself was an impressive display of high tempo rugby from both sides. A credit to all involved and we thank Rosslyn Park for a hard-fought game. We know what it is like to be losing finalists as we were there in 2023. This year’s game was also equally entertaining for neutrals to watch, if there were any neutrals there.

Thank you to all that turned up to support the team. The turnout was amazing with three coach loads from Olney and many more making the journey by car. The volume of vocal support, which resounded around an otherwise empty Sixways stadium, we know was especially appreciated by the team.

The club is aware, however, of some unacceptable behaviour by spectators at the game and is looking into the complaints. In particular, there is an alleged incident where beer was spilt or thrown and a spectator was removed from the stadium by the stewards. If anyone witnessed this incident, or any subsequent interaction on the incident with the stewards, would they please get in contact direct with Tom Winter, Club Secretary - secretary@olneyrfc.co.uk. The club always takes complaints such as this seriously and would appreciate your help on the matter.
