Royal Wootton Bassett RFC

June 2026

A great session this week on a hot and sweaty night at Ballards Ash.

Work continued on shoring up our defence with the emphasis on communication and holding the line.

In attack, the usual "Old Dog" free style was on show, along with tries being scored due to the quick hand speed of everyone involved.

Phil, Emily and Jules all managed to hit the dust, but all were injury-free and returned to the session. Stacey had to have a "recount" after taking a bullet pass from Andy, again, all was well, and Stacey continued with the session.

A big welcome was given to newcomer Geoph, who very quickly got to grips with the rules and tempo of "Old Dog" rugby.

Special mention to Andy, who made a valiant effort to attend, coming late he didn't even get a chance to change out of his fancy-dress costume!

Don't forget sessions start at 6 pm every Monday at Ballards Ash. See you there.
