1XV Match-day 16 and 2XV Match-day 12 Squads!

Please find below your 1XV squad to face 2XV and your 2XV squad to face 4XV.

The 1XV are away to Tunbridge Wells 2XV this weekend as mentioned before this is all to play for! With a feeling that Bourne should have won the last encounter at home and only losing by a point in the last couple of minutes the lads are ready to get their revenge. Can they make it a nice 8 wins consecutively this weekend? We think so!

The 2XV are facing familiar foe in @ 4XV dominating the previous fixture the lads will be looking to better that, this time on home soil. Ready as always to put in a big shift to defend ‘The Grove’ teams do not come here and win easily, every point must be hard earned when any SRUFC team plays at home!

So if you’re travelling with the 1XV or staying closer to home with the 2XV be sure to bring your cheering voices to support the guys on the pitch!

Tough Tests Ahead and Finding Form.

This weekend sees the 1XV take on 2XV away, while the 2XV host 4XV.

This weekend sees the 1XV face a team they haven’t beaten so far in the last couple seasons in Tunbridge Wells. But with 3 points separating 4th and 2nd place and with this being both sides ‘game in hand’ over 3rd this is all to play for! With the boys in red hot form this very much last time out has the potential to be the game of the season! With the winner guaranteeing that 2nd place spot… until next weekend at least.

The 2XV face Canterbury 4XV and as always you never know who’s going to turn up and what to expect! Last time out the boys put in a stellar 2nd half performance with a 45 point second half and 60 point overall points tally. The lads will be looking to find some new year form and keep pushing for those ever important top two spots!

Tight Affair!

This weekend saw Sittingbourne 2XV face 2XV.

It wasn’t quite Bourne’s 2XV weekend. As very good game was played with good skill on display from both sides. Bourne the more physical while Maidstone the slightly quicker. Both sides had a close matched skill set and the halftime scoreline showed that as it was tight the whole way through the affair but unfortunately Bourne did succumb to the faster Maidstone side. Ending the fixture 24-12.

However, a positive display from the lads considering this team hasn’t played since December! With plenty of games left SRUFC 2XV will be looking to take some names in the games to come up!

Next up for the 2XV is a big clash against Canterbury 4XV. A game that they were losing at halftime to only go and turn it around in fantastic fashion. Still living in the memory of all that played and watched that game, they can’t do it again can they?

Bourne’s 2XV Are Back!

Please find below your 2XV to face 2XV this weekend!

This is how SRUFC 2XV lineup for this weekend. Fielding a physically strong pack and fast exciting backline has become a regular occurrence for our 2XV this season and this weekend is no different!

Combining both the experience and know how of some of the seasoned members of the side with the eagerness and hunger of our young players makes for an always exciting watch.

Be sure not to miss it this Saturday away at Maidstone rugby club! As always let’s get a big Sittingbourne Sideline down to support our lads this weekend!

06/02/2025

Long Time Coming!

Only the one game this weekend and Finally we get to see our 2XV in action against 2XV.

After multiple called off games our last 2XV game was back in December! But the 2XV are back and ready to show their skills down at local rivals Maidstone 2XV.

With a few games in hand over teams the 2XV are still in this promotion race and a win against a solid Maidstone side this weekend would prove why! So let’s get behind the lads and take the short trip over Detling Hill to show that Bourne Support!

Bourne Avenge Past Mistakes!

It was a good day at the office this Saturday when SRUFC 1XV faced a tough

Sittingbourne came out on top this time at home and made amends for the result earlier in the season.

Sittingbourne started strong after knocking up a 20 point lead in the first twenty five minutes, it looked like Bourne were onto a BP before the first half however Old G’s stood strong.

Going into the second half Old G’s came out well. Bourne were knocking at the door for the majority of the half, having had the lion share of the possession Bourne changed the point of attack before a ball was intercepted on Old G’s five meter line in which their winger ran the length of the pitch to score their only try of day which was nicely taken. Bourne needed that fourth try which came from the base of a ruck with our number 8 Leon Gomm picking up his Hat-trick and Bourne BP try. A yellow card for both sides saw the pitch open up and Bourne managed to get in a fifth try on the final play of the match up. With SRUFC winning 32-7.

Sittingbourne are wishing everyone at Old Gravesendians the best of luck with the rest of the season.

Inform Bourne or Haunting Old G’s?

Please find your SRUFC 1XV for this weekends fixture against

As mentioned in the previous post, Old G’s had a massive win against us earlier in the season at their place. However, as every team knows coming to Sittingbourne is a different story.

Hopefully the lads can keep their strong home record and reputation up and get a big win against a side who proves a thorn in our side every time we play them. Will the lads have a few new tricks up their sleeve to outfox this Old G’s side this time out? Or will Old G’s put in another stellar performance?

When we traveled to Old G’s it was a packed sideline for the home team with a good amount of traveling support from Bourne. But let’s better that and get a huge crowd supporting the lads this weekend to see them over the line and back into 2nd place.

Old G’s Grudge!

The rugby drought come to an end, with the six nations just around the corner you want to see some of the highest quality of rugby… that’s why this weekend sees only the 1XV in action against a strong

With Old G’s deconstructing Sittingbourne last time out and throwing us back up the M2, this match now has double the pressure for our lads! Vying to keep a promotion spot and self pride on the line this is not one to be missed!

Bourne will be looking to inflict a scoreline similar to what was inflicted upon us in the return fixture and with the boys in red hot form I can’t see why we couldn’t do it!

Want to find out what happens? 2PM Saturday up The Grove.

25/01/2025

Unfortunately the Vets game tomorrow has been cancelled due to the opposition pulling out; this puts us through to the finals in April. Please look out for future announcements!

Bourne Bounce Back!

SRUFC 1XV faced a tough, hard hitting this Saturday.

After Bourne took the lead with a quick three points from kick off, Hasting’s responded scoring two quick fire tries in the first half hour of the match. Being 12-3 down and not finding a great flow Bourne looked to be in for a long away day. Untill a great kick played over the top was chased perfectly and with a nice support and exchange of hands Bourne crashed over the line, adding a conversion and another penalty to the score resulting in us being 12-13 up going into the second half.

The second half was an even stale mate for large parts of the game. Bourne broke over the line first with a few phases off of a dominant scrum leading to us scoring in the corner which was also expertly converted. Another penalty slotted would see Bourne’s final point tally for the match, however Hastings scored another to add their third and final try of the afternoon to get a LBP. Full time away at Hastings ended in a 17-23 victory for SRUFC and a messy coach trip home!

Good luck to Hastings for the rest of the season.

Thank you to everyone who made the journey down the coast and even though it looked bleak at points the lads are happy to have not let you down.

Coast Bound!

Here is how your SRUFC 1XV line up to face a strong side.

Coming off some good form, Bourne are currently on a streak of 5 wins 5 bonus points consecutively. Looking to make it 6/6 and conquer a ground they fell short at last time out!

However, facing one of the best defence’s in the league and on their own patch is never an easy task. In Hastings last 4 home games they have won 3, only losing to league leaders TJ’s. Bourne will want to add their name to the list of teams with this specific away day win!

Thank you to everyone who making the long trek down to support the lads this weekend also!

THAT Away Day!

Only Sittingbourne 1XV are in action this weekend.

SRUFC currently find themselves sitting in second place an all important, hotly contested promotion spot. However, they face a tough away day when they travel to this weekend.

In the home game earlier this season, Sittingbourne came out on top in a very tight fixture. 3-3 at half time Bourne would eventually walk away the 17-3 winners of a physically exhausting end to end match up.

Our last away day here was one to remember for all the wrong reasons so SRUFC will be looking to put some demons to bed come 2pm Saturday.

Hastings and Bexhill find themselves in 6th place. However boasting an impressive defensive record. (Granted their at home) but they have conceded the least points away this season and are joint top on the ‘biggest fortress’ stat. Proving they will be a tough team to crack!

Bourne have never been ones to shy away from a challenge, so if you want and all the thrills and potential heartbreak of a cracking away day you know where to be on Saturday!

With a Coach planned this time and limited seating left if you haven’t already please drop us a message about it and I can gather the information for you!

09/01/2025

Action Time for the 2XV.

This weekend only the 2XV will be in action as they face 3XV.

Finally a fixture for our 2XV who due to opposition and conditions have been waiting in the wings for few weeks to actually step onto the pitch.

A great performance last time out in Thanet saw us take all of the points but this time won’t be any easier. At home with only one spot separating these two teams all is to play for. So make sure you get yourself down to support the lads this Saturday!

Bonus Point Wins Continue Into 2025

This weekend saw SRUFC’s 1XV take the pitch against New Ash Green

In cold conditions and bellies full from the festive period SRUFC 1XV put in a dominant performance. Facing a resilient New Ash Green the lads defence (how ever scrappy at time) held well. Bourne’s offence was better though breaking lines and dismantling the opposition scrum proved pivotal in this match up. With a Hat trick from Skipper Jacob Smith, it helped secure all the points in our first game back.

Everyone here at Bourne wish’s New Ash Green the best of luck with the rest of their season!

2025’s First Squad’s!

As we welcome a new year, we still consistently managed to fill two sides! Please find below your 1XV taking on and your 2XV taking on 2XV.

The 1XV host NAG, and look to start the year as they mean to go on. Can they continue their momentum and make it 5/5 consecutively? And push for those promotion spots?

The 2XV are away to Maidstone 2XV, the England website shows this fixture has been played four times with SRUFC winning three of those four encounters. The lads will look to keep this winning form against this side and also push for those promotion spots.

Both Bourne side are only a single point behind 2nd place in both respective leagues so which ever game you chose to watch this Saturday, I’m sure you will see a spirited SRUFC performance!

2025 Starts With a Bang!

We know rugby’s been away for to long, you’ve had some minor inconveniences to deal with like Christmas and New Year’s. However, BOTH sides the 1XV and 2XV will be in action this weekend!

The 1XV are at home and take on a sides whose position in the table doesn’t reflect their closely fought fixtures this season. It won’t be easy but the lads are looking to make a statement start to 2025 and push for those ever important promotion places. Only one point behind second place every point will be vital.

The 2XV are away just over Detling Hill taking on 2XV. There are only four points between these two sides and likewise to the 1XV the 2XV are looking to be in those promotion places also come the end of the season. Only one point behind second and five points away from the league leaders. The 2XV will be playing for local pride and important points!

This year everything is to play for. So let’s start the new year as we mean to go on and come along this weekend to support either team!

🎉 Sittingbourne Rugby Club Annual Boxing Day Games Recap! 🎉

What a fantastic day we had at our annual Boxing Day rugby games! 🏉 We kicked off with two exciting touch rugby matches, followed by a thrilling senior game. It was wonderful to see players of all ages taking part and a host of enthusiastic spectators cheering us on.

After the games, we enjoyed a delicious feast of leftover Christmas meats and perfectly cooked roast potatoes, thanks to the hard work of Andy Donaldson and Sean Talbot. 🍖🥔 Everyone indulged in a plate of festive food and a glass of port, toasting the memories of those we've lost over the years. A huge thank you to our volunteers who also helped with the clear up & to Sharon Gates for keeping the glasses topped up!

We're thrilled to announce that we raised £300 this year, which will be donated to Tiny Toes, , an East Kent hospital charity.

A huge thank you to everyone for your support and for showing true club spirit once again! 💙
