Yate U15s 24–29 Keynsham Well, it's great to be back in league action! Rugby Rose here, and this Sunday our U15s, now affectionately known as The Tridents (a name given to them by their ever-supportive fans), laced up their boots and took on the mighty Keynsham. And what a game of grassroots rugby it was! Although the boys didn't quite get the result they wanted, there was plenty to celebrate. Tries? Plenty of attacking rugby? Some outstanding defensive work? A squad continui

FULL-TIME: WIN Ashley Down Old Boys 17–41 Yate Rugby Well, well, well… now that's more like it! 🌹 Rugby Rose here, and I have to say, Saturday was a fantastic afternoon for Yate Rugby as the men travelled to Ashley Down Old Boys and returned with a convincing 41–17 victory. But what impressed me most wasn't just the six tries or the final scoreline. It was the attitude, effort and togetherness that this team showed from the moment they walked into the changing rooms. There w

Yate U15s – Development Fixture v North Bristol Rugby Rob here, and last weekend's U15s fixture against North Bristol was a brilliant reminder that not every match is about the scoreboard. Sometimes, the biggest victories come from what you learn, what you try and how much you grow as a team. And there was plenty of all three on show! 🧠 Learning Was the Name of the Game The U15s went into this development fixture excited about trying a few new things, and that's exactly what

Yate Phoenixes 22–10 Fairford Vixens Well, what a performance from our Phoenixes! 🔥 Rugby Riley here, and I can tell you, there was plenty to cheer about as Yate took on Fairford Vixens and came away with a fantastic 22–10 victory. With nerves in the air before kick-off, this was only the team's second game of the season. But as soon as that whistle blew, those nerves turned into determination, and the Phoenixes brought their A-game from the very first minute! 🔥 Relentless

Patience. Determination. Pace. Three words that summed up a brilliant effort from our Yate U11s this weekend as they took on a very good Bristol Saracens side! There was a real buzz around the team from the start, and it was fantastic to see the boys growing in confidence, becoming more comfortable with their positioning and really putting their training into practice. Despite being up against strong numbers and adjusting to a different team every quarter, Yate held their own

Yate U11s take on the mighty Hornets Well, it was an early start for the U11s this Sunday as the team made the trip to Hornets on a beautiful sunny morning. And despite arriving with a bare nine players, the boys were ready to get stuck in from the very first whistle! 💪 A Brilliant Start Right from the opening exchanges, the U11s showed fantastic organisation and defensive discipline. They worked hard for each other, holding their shape and putting pressure on Hornets. Event

Yate 2s 24–45 St Bernadette’s Right, Clubhouse Connor reporting in — and Saturday was one of those games where the scoreboard doesn't quite tell the whole story. Yate 2s headed into the afternoon looking to make it back-to-back wins, but waiting for them was a physical St Bernadette’s side who were more than ready for the battle. 💥 A Physical Start The opening 20 minutes were seriously competitive, with both sides putting themselves about. St Bernadette’s found their way ove

🏉 Rugby Rob: Yate 1s Left Frustrated After Cleve Defeat Cleve 2s 26–15 Yate 1s By Rugby Rob 🎙️ Sometimes rugby gives you a result that feels pretty straightforward. And sometimes you walk off the pitch thinking, “How did we not win that?” This was definitely the latter. Yate 1s travelled to Cleve for a hot and dusty contest and came away on the wrong side of a 26–15 scoreline, despite plenty of opportunities to take the game. At full-time, the disappointment was obvious. Th

North Bristol 2s 38–43 Yate 2s By Sideline Sam Well… if anyone was looking for a quiet afternoon of rugby, they definitely weren't at North Bristol! The Yate 2s came away with a 43–38 victory in a seriously entertaining contest, but this was much more than just a high-scoring game. After promotion last season, the squad knew that 26/27 would demand another gear, and from the first whistle it was clear they were ready to empty the tank. And by full-time? There wasn't a player

Yate U11s vs Whitehall RFC By Sideline Sam Well, the U11s certainly didn't hang around waiting for the season to get going!

Teamwork from the First Whistle The standout feature of the match was the way the team worked together. There was great p

Yate U10s vs Whitehall RFC By Try-Line Tilly 💙💛 Well, we're back! And after the summer break, the Yate U10s were straight into action against Whitehall RFC, with plenty of excitement, a few questions and one big one... What exactly were these new laws going to look like in a match?! The team weren't quite sure what to expect, but they were certainly excited to give it a go — and they didn't disappoint.

Yate U7s & U8s vs Whitehall RFC By Rugby Rose Well, what a morning for the Yate U7s and U8s! There was excitement, a little apprehension, plenty of energy and, most importantly, lots of smiles and rugby as our young players took on Whitehall RFC. And if I had to sum up the day in three words? Fun. Competitive. Skillful. Rufus Makes His Mark! 🏉 One moment in particular caught my eye — and what a way to announce yourself!
