CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME Welcome to Aylesbury RFC A warm welcome to Aylesbury RFC, their players, coaches and supporters, as they arrive at Ash Grove today. They come into this game with two wins and a close loss already on the board this season, so we know we’re in for a proper test. Welcome, and enjoy the afternoon with us, but not too much!! Good Luck to our 2nd XV Our unbeaten 2nd XV are away with their coaching team at Bletchley 1st XV this weekend. They are also protecting their 100% record, which is always difficult against other clubs 1st XVs. A Superb Weekend It was a superb weekend for the club. Our 2nd XV put in a stunning away performance to win 55-7 at Maidenhead, and back at home our 1st XV had an interesting afternoon against HAC RFC that ended up being our third bonus-point win on the bounce with a scoreline of 47-35. A special mention to Joe Batt, whose strong performance and two tries earned him Player of the Match last week. Player of the Match Sponsor Today’s sponsor for Player of the Match is one of our main printers, BH Digital Print. Andy Saunders, Geoff and Simon have made great efforts to make the clubhouse look amazing with new Posters and Supplied kit for the Coaches across the club — we thank BH Digital Print for their support and generosity. We look forward to their choice today! Girls-Only Coaching Begins It’s been an eventful week at the club, with our first girls-only rugby coaching sessions getting underway. A few shoutouts here: to Gareth Bourne and Vicky Edington for getting this moving, and to the Women’s team for showing up to support and offering the role models these future senior players will want. A great first turn out and wonderful feedback. Welcoming This Year’s U7s A massive welcome to this year’s U7s, who offer us their support today in a guard of honour. They’ll
be sponsored this season by our number 11 and number 8, and the players wearing those shirts today will return the favour by supporting a future U7s training session or two. A Busy Start to the Month It’s been a busy start to the month across the club. Our minis are away at a festival in Beaconsfield on Sunday, and it’s been competitive games all round for the juniors and colts. There’ll be more to report on all of this at the end of the month. Thank You, Pre-Match Lunch Crew Thank you to everyone who has supported the prematch lunches since the season started. It makes a huge difference to the club, and to the team on the pitch. Big thanks to Ruthie, to Leela and her team at A Little Street Kitchen, and to Molly and all the bar crew. Book Your Tables Get your tables booked for the next few games before the New Year. Ladies Day on 5th December is close to a sell-out, and our last home game before Christmas is against Beaconsfield on 19th December, with the opening of our new stand. Halloween at Ash Grove One for the diary: the home game versus Harpenden falls on Halloween this year, and it will be themed accordingly — so get your thinking caps on. Yours as always

NEW 2026/2027 Away & Tour Kit Back in the Spring A&C invited players, parents, alumni, and supporters to help shape the club’s future look by entering a competition to design the 2026–27 Senior Away Shirt that will also double as the Juniors and Minis end of season 2026–27 Tour Kit. We will see the winning shirt being worn with pride across the country and beyond. This is the first time we have run a competition like this, and there was a great response from all sections of the club, and the judges had a tough job to choose the winner. We hope you will agree the winners have done an amazing job.
Congratulations to Charlie and Tobie Meoy from the Juniors, and to Conor Segre from the Seniors. Together, their combined designs bring real class and style, with a lovely nod to our traditional A&C hooped jersey as well as the place we call home — a contour map of Amersham built into the design itself, all on a background colour of black. We know the parents will love washing this shirt! We look forward to seeing the seniors win many games in their new away attire and the Minis and Juniors stand out from the crowd as they have fun away on their tours in the Spring!

Our eagerly awaited match against Honorable Artillery Company (HAC) came four weeks later than planned, thanks to the summer’s dry weather and delayed start to the season. With two bonus-point wins under our belt, and HAC chasing their first win of the season, we suited up in Red and White to face our London-based rivals. Match Report - 1XV vs HAC, 10th October 2026 Our eagerly awaited match against Honorable Artillery Company (HAC) came four weeks later than planned, thanks to the summer’s dry weather and delayed start to the season. With two bonus-point wins under our belt, and HAC chasing their first win of the season, we suited up in Red and White to face our Londonbased rivals. HAC took an early lead. After just 3 minutes, the boys in blue had pinned us into our 22, and a sneaky scrum half chip and chase over our defenders gave them the first try of the game. His outside-half backed him up by converting the try, and led A&C by 7 points. We retaliated quickly and kicked a penalty into the corner, giving us a line out 8m out from the try line. Joe Batt called to the bar, “I’ll have the usual, please”, and coordinated a strong driving maul, crashing over the line for his second try of the season. Will Baildon stepped up to the tee and delivered his first conversion of the match, levelling the scores.
Dave Francis made his first appearance of the season, after missing the first couple of games managing a back injury. However, his first carry of the ball shocked everyone, as he sprinted from the half way line, outpacing HAC’s winger, slipping the grasp of two tacklers, and falling a metre away from the try line - and with a heroic reach over his head, he slammed the ball over the try line and added 5 points to our tally. The restart kick gave us possession, and we zig-zagged our way back down the pitch. Quick hands from our backs got the ball into Dave’s hands again. He charged deep into their half, offloaded to Sammy Sinclair, who fed the ball on
to captain Sam Lunnon, scoring under the posts. An easy conversion for Baildon brought our score to 19-7, in just under 20 minutes played. Our next opportunity presented itself from some hard work from our pack, and after multiple phases of crash ball and speedy rucks, the ball was shipped out to Conor Segre, spotting a gap in their line and outpacing their retreating defenders to go under the posts for a converted try. A try bonus point within half an hour put a smile on our crowd’s faces. HAC stayed in close contention in the first half, with their scrum half and winger each scoring a converted try. But our hooker Joe Batt was the player to end the half with another of his signature driving maul tries, and Baildon’s conversion bringing the halfway score to 33-21.
The second half started off with a missed exit box-kick from HAC, and fast hands shipped the ball out wide to winger Luca Toth, now in open space with a couple of forwards defending his channel - they were no match for our lightning man. 40 metres gained and a lovely offload allowed vice-captain Dan Kingsley to go in for his first of the season, followed by a brilliant conversion by Baildon from out wide. HAC’s next set of play saw the wide channels used to perfection. The winger carried to the corner of the try line and offloaded within inches of the touch line, passing on to their number 8 to touch it down. A conversion saw them bring the score up to 40-28, with Chiltern still leading. A&C would go on to score one more off a line out - a driving maul with a couple of break-offs saw Dave Francis score his second of the match, and Baildon
adding his 6th conversion of the game. However the successful set piece also saw a small scrap, and the referee reached for his pocket. A yellow card was shown to second row Will Drewett, and to HAC’s number 8. The final score of the game came from HAC’s fly half, who chipped over the defensive line after a line out, getting the try and adding the conversion onto his own score. Full time drew in with Chiltern winning 47-35, with A&C now one of only 2 teams remaining in the league with a full points haul from the first 3 games. Up next: Aylesbury at home.

FROM THE TOUCHLINE Welcome To The New Season...!! I can’t believe just how busy our club is these days. Mid-week evenings are busier than ever with more junior teams choosing to do extra training. It’s buzzing most days. Sundays are the beating heart of this club and last weekend saw the inaugural “Girls” rugby training session for 11–14-year-olds. A great turnout of nine keen and eager players showed up. This is great news and adds more depth to our junior section. Well done to Vicky & Gareth Bourne. I would like to say thank you to the following: We wish farewell to Kazeem Olayinka who has left the club for a work opportunity in Essex. Kaz played 34 1st XV games for the club over three seasons. Originally playing for Aylesbury and joining A+C once we were promoted to level 5. Kaz brought good humor, hard work on & off the field and led from the front in humbleness and modesty. We wish Kaz all the very best. Andrew Toole was celebrated last Saturday night for his outstanding contribution of seven years playing for the club. Thanks again Andrew for all your efforts. I’m sure Andrew had a pretty sore head on Sunday morning.
first half put Amersham with a 33-21 lead at half time. Final score 47-35 and a feeling afterwards that we left points on the park. A+C’s discipline on the field needs looking at with our penalty count over the first three games being far too high, equally some of the attack has been great with some enterprising moves resulting in some outstanding tries. Today’s game is pretty much a local derby against Aylesbury, and we look forward to welcoming them back to Weedon Lane. I expect a battle royal to be had for both teams, and history says we always have close games. 2ND XV: Two from two for the mighty 2’s so far in the league. A magnificent win last weekend against Maidenhead away with a score of 55-7 brough a smile to everyone back at HQ when we heard the score line. Sitting third in the league with a game in hand as of today. Today’s away game will be another interesting match against old rival Bletchley. Many goods battles have taken place between our two clubs over the years. Women’s XV.
Rugby Roundup:
Unfortunately, last weeks A+C combined Aylesbury team to play Beaconsfield was cancelled as Beaconsfield struggled to raise a team.

Three games and three wins puts us on 15 points sitting second behind Harpenden on the league table. A brilliant start especially against last weekend’s opponent HAC. Great work in the
