Cottenham Renegades RUFC

Posted on by

We have enjoyed a good start to the season, with games played even though the ground was definitely on the firm side. A pre-season friendly against Thetford gave the squad its first outing; they had a huge squad and used the numbers to win comfortably. The league proper began with a home win against Thorney (45–21). The next game, against Shelford 3, had to be conceded because of a poorly timed stag do by a former player. Renegades then found their feet again with a bonus-point win against Cantabrigians 2. The trip to Saffron Walden to play their seconds was an entirely different affair: Walden top the league, and an influx of good players to their first team pushed several first-team players down to the seconds. Their quality showed, and we came away with a depressing scoreline (40–5) despite a relatively good performance.

Fixtures – Renegades have only one home game planned for Q1 2027: Saturday 6 February – kick-off 2pm, against Saffron Walden 2, at Cottenham Village College rugby pitch.

You may have played at school or with a club a while back and would like to get back into it, or perhaps you have never played but would like to try. Either way, you will get a great welcome.
