We have been overwhelmed by the lovely words sent by so many who knew Mike through rugby, the club that he was devoted to, and as a teacher.

To celebrate his life, we are linking with Woodbridge Rugby Club and the Old Woodbridgians on Saturday 29^th April 2023.

The afternoon will start with a short service where we will remember Mike and his achievements and then we hope to be treated to a game in his honour between Old Woodbridgians and Woodbridge Vets.  The bar will be open and food will be available.

We have set up a MuchLoved tribute page in Mike’s memory which supports St Elizabeth Hospice. You can add a story, pictures or donate if you wish.

We would be grateful if you could let us know if you would like to attend (or even play!) via the rugby club at clubops@woodbridgerugby.net by Wednesday 19^th April.

Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible.

Best wishes
Jill, Jo, Sarah, Adam and their families

We were pleased to see everyone there having such a great time at our Minis Development festival this year.

The sun was shining bright, the BBQ was ablaze, the kitchen was busy and there were so many smiles on people’s faces which was pleasing to see.

The cake and sweet stall were a sell-out, but the best part of the day was our chance to see the children play rugby against other clubs!

The quality of the rugby played by all those teams involved was phenomenal and it’s fair to say that this is reflected in the quality of coaching provided too. This generates great hope for the continued growth and success in rugby across East Anglia.

We would like to thank the following:

• Those players and coaches that participated in this year’s festival. You all demonstrated great sportsmanship, matching the values of our club and rugby in general.
• TJ & Claire (Chairman and Junior Chair)…and their families, for organising the festival.
• All the helpers and volunteers at WRUFC, without your support these events simply don’t happen, you made this day a success!
• The parents/guardians who supported the children from all the clubs attending, leading with celebration and support to all the players on the pitch.
• Finally, Woodbridge School, who sponsors our junior teams. This partnership is helping us grow our future.

Please don’t forget to order your photos from the festival from www.DEphoto.biz

We at WRUFC appreciate the amazing lengths you mothers go to in giving up those lazy Sunday morning lay-ins, having to stand on the touch line (in all weathers) and the endless taxi, laundry and catering services you provide free to your children, free of charge, in the name of love….

As a BIG THANK YOU, and a small token of gesture, we would like to offer you wonderful mums a complimentary Tea or Coffee this Sunday.

Remember, drink responsibly.  Bring your own cup or mug and be even more superhero by saving the planet!

Our Warriors smashed out an amazing 38-48 victory on the road to Colchester on Saturday afternoon, while the Saxons were rampant against a very strong Mersea Island team winning 51-31 at home.

To finish the weekend in style, our Amazons gained a very close victory against the Lakenham Hewett Ladies with a 26-24 win at home today.

Furthermore, the Woodbridge Minis also had a great time at the Colchester Rugby Festival this morning, showing great form and receiving some positive feedback from the coaches!

Well done to all the teams that represented the club this weekend and thank you to our coaching staff, volunteers and proud mums and dads for the support given!

No rugby club, no matter how amazing they are….can’t function without it’s wonderful and slightly superhuman volunteers.

Woodbridge RUFC is no exception…

We aim BIG, however we also recognise that nothing great is achieved without you! And because we aim HIGH, this requires even more support.

Parents, members, sponsors, partners, fans, get involved, we call upon you now! Our skill sets are not just limited to “rugby”, we have some extraordinary talent at our club off the field too and we need you!!

Coming soon, we will be hosting an evening/weekend focusing on our wonderful volunteers to celebrate and promote the good work they provide to our club, we would welcome you along to this event to see if there is something you could also support us with.

Keep an eye on our website over the coming weeks and our social media for more info!
