🏉 T1 Inter-Club Match: Great Warm Up for the Women’s Rugby World Cup 🏉

Rob: Well Rose, I don’t know about you, but my ribs still hurt… not from rugby, but from laughing so much! What an absolute cracker of a T1 game we just witnessed.

Rose: Couldn’t agree more, Rob! Nine-a-side, a full pitch, two teams of absolute characters — Team Forbes vs Team Kitson — and let’s not forget, all refereed by the legends of non-contact rugby officiating. Who knew rugby could be this fast, fun, and downright entertaining?

Rob: The bravery award has to go straight to Kitson himself. Playing with that high chance of injury (and we mean very high!) while leading his own team — heroic stuff.

Rose: Heroic? Or foolish? Especially after two almost interceptions that could’ve been moments of the match… if only he could actually catch! High in rugby IQ, low in skill level — that’s Kitson in a nutshell.

Rob: True enough! Now Jade was flying around again, but a couple of fumbles had us gasping. We’ll let her off though — her energy more than made up for it.

Rose: And speaking of energy — let’s talk about Mr. Hill! After a quick bit of catching coaching from Forbes, he crossed the whitewash for his first try, and what a beauty it was. His grin was almost as big as his sidestep!

Rob: Meanwhile, for Team Kitson, the midfield axis of Dury, Chris, and Callum bossed the centre of the pitch, while Char and Dannie had some dazzling plays out wide. Add in Becki — our resident non-contact dynamo — breaking through as always, and the crowd had plenty to cheer about.

Rose: And a big shoutout to Kelly Kitson, making her first appearance! Great to see her on the pitch — hopefully the first of many.

Rob: For Team Forbes, two players really stood out: Nathaniel with his tireless work rate, and Scarlet… oh my word, Scarlet.

Rose: Player of the Day, hands down. Her try from her own 22 was pure class — weaving, stepping, powering all the way to the line. The fact both teams stopped to applaud tells you everything. Absolute magic.

Rob: And let’s not forget the golden rule of T1 rugby — last try wins. This time it went to Team Forbes, so a massive congratulations to them for edging the bragging rights! 🏆

Rose: It was fun, it was fast, it was friendship. And it was the perfect warm-up for the

Women’s Rugby World Cup.

Rob: Speaking of which — good luck to the England Red Roses as they kick off their campaign. We’ll be cheering you on! 🌹

Rose: Before we sign off, a quick nod to tomorrow: best of luck to our Under-9s heading into the Bristol Bears tournament, and to our Under-14s taking on the mighty Bath. Rose and I will be there with our microphones at the ready.

Rob: Can’t wait, Rose. Until then — thanks to everyone who played, watched, and laughed along. Rugby at its best.

Both: Rugby, laughs, and friendship. That’s what it’s all about. 🏉
