We also recognised two players for their length of service through the Royal Wootton Bassett RFC Youth Sections. These players have enthusiastically committed to play rugby at the club from Under 7s all the way to the end of Under 18s. Congratulations to Noah Vaughan-Lewis and Reuben Bisset.
Thanks were given to the Team Managers and First Aid volunteers for their invaluable assistance off the pitch. And the Colts in turn presented gifts and a commemorative picture to their coaches to say thank you for the hard work put in with them this season.
As the Under 18s transition through to Senior Rugby next season, we are very much looking forward to seeing these young men continue their rugby careers with the club in the future.
Royal Wootton Bassett RFC Colts invite new U17/U18 players to join them ahead of the 2022-23 season. The team are proud of their positive, friendly environment where we value exciting rugby with a player-centred approach, supplemented by fun off-the-field social shenanigans.
