CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME Welcome to Harpenden RFC A huge welcome to Harpenden RFC, their players, coaches and supporters, as they arrive at Ash Grove for our Halloween fixture. Today’s game is a stunning top-of-the-table clash: A&C are the only side left in the league with our 100% record still intact. Welcome, and enjoy the afternoon with us — but not too much!! Harpenden’s Form We have had a season without playing Harpenden, as they dropped a league the season before our playoff relegation, last season. Both clubs have been on sparkling form at the start of this season, with a clear objective to get back up to Level 5 rugby. Harpenden arrive on the back of their first defeat of the season — a narrow loss away to a strong Ealing Trailfinders side last week. But still remain strong contenders for the title in this strong league. A Superb Weekend Last weekend saw our 1st XV destroy Grasshoppers 64-0 away on their AGP, in truly terrible conditions. A great performance from our half-backs, though Player of the Match went to one of our returning stalwarts, Tom Fawssett — great to see him back in such good form since his return from Letchworth. Good Luck to our 2nd XV Our 2nd XV are away to Milton Keynes RFC 1st XV today for another top-of-the-table clash, with both teams’ unbeaten records on the line. Something has to give. Player of the Match Sponsor Today’s sponsor for Player of the Match is Stuart from Butterfly Print and Design a valued sponsor of the club — we thank them for their support and generosity. And we look forward to their choice today! Girls-Only Coaching Off to a Great Start 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. Diary note ladies, the club offer free Strength and Conditioning
sessions provided by FFS on a Thursday night at 7.45pm for an hour. This is part of our Membership. Welcoming This Year’s U15s A massive welcome to this year’s U15s, who offer us their support today in a guard of honour. They’ll be sponsored this season by our number 10 and number 6, and the players wearing those shirts today will return the favour by supporting a future U15s 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 As the clocks have gone back, our kick-off times move to 2pm. We’ve got some very exciting home games coming up: Ealing at home on 21st November, and then Belsize Park on 5th December — our sellout Ladies Day! Get your tables booked. Christmas Lunch That’s followed by our near sell-out Christmas Lunch for the home game against Beaconsfield, where we hope to open the new Rob Maxey Stand. Clubhouse Open for the Autumn Internationals The clubhouse will be open for the Autumn International games, live on TNT Sports — look out for our timetable. A Full Month Ahead Add to that our Loozeheads Mental Health Night on 3rd November at 7.30pm and Fireworks Night on 6th November, and we’ve got a full-on month ahead of us. 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!

A&C 1XV
2026 / 2027 SEASON
MATCH REPORT A&C 1XV 35 - Aylesbury 24 17th October 2026
Our first local derby of the season was against Aylesbury, visiting us on a cold and windy Saturday afternoon. Many of our own players grew up playing for Aylesbury - including the Delaney brothers, Louie Mould, Luca Toth, and Will Baildon - with his dad, Ed, playing for Aylesbury in the second row. This was sure to be a heated game.
Some loose play came next, however the quick hands of Will Drewett managed to recover a bouncing pass, offloading to Baildon, who delayed his pass to our speedy centre, Sammy Sinclair. A well-timed pass allowed Sammy to break the line between two defenders, and his fast feet outpaced another three to score under the posts, and Baildon secured the extra two points again.
Aylesbury took an early lead by scoring a try off a lineout maul, but were unsuccessful with their conversion attempt. Chiltern quickly returned the favour with a lineout maul of their own, scored by Dave Francis. Will Baildon added the conversion, scoring his first points against his childhood club and gaining a lead at his new home. Aylesbury repeated their signature move, scoring another try in the corner from a line out maul, for their final points of the first half, gaining a lead of 10-7.
Dave Francis lined up in the centres for our next lineout, and received the pass from Baildon. With the ball in his hand and eyes set on the line from 40m out, nobody was going to stop him. He scored our fourth try of the match before half time, securing a bonus point in the league table. Baildon’s conversion brought the half time score to 28-10.
We broke the streak of line out tries, but the forwards weren’t out of the clear just yet. Our pack drove a scrum forward for 10 metres with the ball at Tom Fawssett’s feet - he took us over the line, with Baildon adding his second conversion.
The rain and wind picked up during the half time break, making for tough conditions when the players came back out. 55 minutes into the game, we set up to defend Aylesbury’s line out - and a steal from Harry Bradshaw gave us possession. A tip pass off the back gave Joe Batt a try. He pinned his ears back and took on their entire defensive line on a wild 40m dash. With props, flankers and centres all hanging onto his kit, he fended off tackles and crashed underneath the posts for our fifth try of the game, and Baildon’s conversion brought the score to 35-10.
Aylesbury were hungry for a late comeback and won a penalty, kicking for the corner for a line out. Their hooker peeled off the back of a driving maul, and our recent try-scorer Joe got penalised for a high tackle, with the referee pulling out a yellow card. Aylesbury went on to score a try with two minutes left on the clock - and wasted no time in taking their conversion, opting for a drop kick instead of using the tee. Now playing with 14 men, Chiltern had the bonus-point victory secured, but Aylesbury weren’t finished - they wanted their 4-try bonus point to leave Weedon Lane with something to show for their valiant efforts. They pulled out their strongest move with another line out maul, and peeled off to the blindside, carried by their scrum half, who scored in the corner. They added the conversion to bring the full time score to 35-24.
MATCH REPORT Grasshoppers 0 - A&C 1XV 64 24th October 2026
Under the wild skies of Storm Boelo, we travelled to Grasshoppers Rugby Club in west London. Dressed in our brand new black and red away kit, we went into the match with 4 bonus point wins from 4 games, whereas Grasshoppers were looking for their first victory after a tough start to the season.
Grasshoppers were struggling to keep possession, and made a few handling errors due to the relentless rain, giving us scrum feeds. Liam Bruno was putting up a solid fight against the opposite tight-head, giving us penalties and eventually resulting in a yellow card for their number 3.
An early scrum 5m out from the grasshoppers’ try line gave number eight Tom Fawssett the ball at his feet, and a powerful drive from the pack gave him the opening try of the match, with Will Baildon adding the conversion. We soon won a penalty for Grasshoppers using hands in the ruck, and Baildon kicked for touch. We set up a driving maul, Joe Batt armed with the ball at the back, and going in for his 5th try of the season, with Baildon making it 2 from 2 off the tee in very challenging wind. Our next try came from multiple phases of crash ball, eventually scored by Will Drewett - his first try of the season. Baildon was unsuccessful this time with his conversion attempt. We set up again with a very similar multi-phase play, and a space behind a ruck opened up for scrum-half Drew Delaney, who darted through the tackle from the opposition’s flanker to score a try - our fourth of the match, securing the bonus point in under 20 minutes. The conversion brought the score to 26-0.
We quickly capitalised on the overlap and scored another try off a line out drive from Joe Batt. The Grasshoppers had a scoring chance just before half time, however were held up on the line, keeping the score at 31-0 as the boys ran in to dry off at half time.
Conor Segre had a blinding start to the second half, scoring two tries in the first 5 minutes with Baildon adding a conversion on his first but missing on the second. Conor and Joe now sit comfortably as the joint top try scorers in the league, with 6 tries each. With the wind behind us this half, we kicked for the corner on our penalties, allowing Will Drewett to score 3 more tries, bringing his total for the game up to 4. Baildon backed these tries up with 3 conversions. A late yellow card for Grasshoppers’ number 8 meant they struggled to gain back possession with a man down. They couldn’t get on the score board in the second half, and the final whistle brought the final score to 64-0. A strong win for Amersham & Chiltern, boosting our lead at the top of the table, with 25 points gained in 5 games.

FROM THE TOUCHLINE The season is truly underway,
Rugby Roundup:
With both the 1st & 2nd XV having been unbeaten thus far we are exactly where we expect to be at this point in the season.
1st XV:
Some great rugby has been played by both sides and although we have given away too many penalties and given away points to the opposition at times we are constantly learning and looking to improve. Our new coaching team of James & Sam are pushing the players in every area, and the hard work is paying off. The new away kit was christened with the 2nd XV playing Bletchley on the 17th of October. It looks stunning with many positive comments being made about it. I love the contours of Amersham being part of the shirt design, a truly unique feature.
Two good wins in the last two weeks against Aylesbury 35-24 and Grasshoppers 64-0 put us on 25 points and sitting on top of the league table. Today’s home game is against Harpenden who sit third on 21 points equal with Ealing Trailfinders. We have been playing Harpenden many times over the past few years at level five. They are always solid and have players that can perform. This will be a major test today and be a pivotal game for league position moving forward. If we play our game, be disciplined and keep calm heads the result will look after itself. 2nd XV: A solid win last weekend in the local derby against Chesham 38-17 takes the twos into second place in the league with 19 points and with a game in hand. Today though, we play Milton Keynes (away) who sit top of the league on 25 points. Last year’s game was a hard fort battle with Milton Keynes coming out on top. Again, like the 1st XV game today this could be a defining game early in the season. Best of luck to the “Diddly Doos” today we are right behind you..! Women’s XV.
I would like to say thank you to the following: We have had new management this season for both the 1st XV & 2nd XV and I would just like to take the opportunity to thank Gabriel Chadwick our first team manager and James A-K ore second team manager who have both embraced the role and have already contributed massively on and off the field. Keep up the good work guys, it is so valuable what you do. Another thanks goes to Matt Wall who has been doing the pitch lines recently. Thanks Matt, the lines are the best they have ever been.
This Sunday the 1st of November the women play Reading Abbey away with a KO time of 2.30pm. This is a combined team with A+C & Aylesbury players. Looking forward to hearing about another successful day out. Enjoy the weekend. #upthechilts
