CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME Dear members, players, parents and supporters, Welcome to Ash Grove for today’s home game against HAC RFC, and a particularly warm welcome to our friends from HAC. Whether you’re a player, parent, volunteer, supporter or visitor, thank you for being part of the club. It’s a busy, positive time, and I’m delighted to share some highlights. A FABULOUS START FOR THE 1ST AND 2ND XV Both teams have made a superb start to the season. The commitment in training, the team spirit and the quality on the pitch have all been fantastic. Well done to the players, coaches and managers, and thank you to everyone who has travelled to support the teams. Top Try Scorers for the 1st XV and ones to look out for today are Sammy Sinclair and Conor Segre. Also look out for Sam Lunnon who along with our departing Scottish hero, Andrew Toole, make up the Player of the Month nominations for September. AN AMAZING MINIS FESTIVAL Last weekend’s Minis Festival was a brilliant occasion. Ash Grove was full of energy, smiles and young players enjoying their rugby. Huge thanks to our coaches, parents and every volunteer who helped it run so smoothly. WORKFORCE DAY: A GREAT SUCCESS Thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves. A great turnout got a huge amount done around the club, and it’s a perfect example of what we can achieve when members pull together. FACILITIES IMPROVEMENTS: ON PLAN FOR NOVEMBER Planning is on track, with work due to start in November. There may be some disruption along
the way, and we’ll keep everyone informed as the programme progresses. VOLUNTEERING IS GROWING Volunteering across the club is increasing and making a real difference, from match days to the Minis and the clubhouse. If you’ve been thinking about getting involved, please speak to any committee member. There’s a role for everyone, whatever time you can offer. WORKING FROM THE CLUBHOUSE: ARE YOU INTERESTED? We’re keen to gauge interest in members using the clubhouse as a place to work from during the day. If you’d value a friendly space with a coffee close to hand, please reply to this email or speak to a committee member. EXCITING NEWS: THE ROB MAXEY STAND I’m thrilled to announce that the Rob Maxey Stand will be in place for our home game against Beaconsfield in December. It will provide 75 seats, including 5 wheelchair bays, making Ash Grove more comfortable and more accessible for everyone who loves watching rugby here. Thank you for your continued support. Enjoy the game, and let’s get behind the lads today. Best wishes,
Andy Saunders Chairman – Andy Saunders, President – Andy Grant, Hon Secretary – Ralph Hayward Hon Treasurer – Will Barraclough, Membership Secretary – Sandra Hitchman Sponsorship Manager – Ruth Brockett, Director of Rugby – Pete Gibson Mini Chairman – James Stacpoole, Juniors Chairman Rob Elms

WELCOME TO THE U13’S FROM MINIS TO JUNIORS
On 26th September we celebrated our U13 team, who received their match shirts and A&C ties, as they made their step up from mini to junior rugby. A great group of players who showed commitment growth and resilience.
Congratulations boys you are the future of our club!
2026 MINIS RUGBY FESTIVAL It was fantastic to see so many players, coaches, parents and supporters join us on Sunday. We were delighted to welcome clubs from across the area for what was a brilliant day of rugby, friendship and, most importantly, fun. Mini rugby is about so much more than what happens on the pitch. It gives young players the opportunity to develop confidence, make friends, learn to be part of a team and enjoy everything that is special about our game. The festival would not have been possible without an enormous amount of work behind the scenes. A huge thank you to everyone who gave their time to organise the festival, prepare the grounds, coordinate
SPECIAL THANKS TO THE SENIORS Left to right 1 Kirsty Evans 2 Rebecca Rice 3 Will Baildon 4 Will Drewett 5 Dave Francis 6 Paddy Esson 7 Gabriel Chadwick 8 Madison Lear 9 Tom Fawssett
the teams, referee matches, marshal cars, serve food and help throughout the day. Events like this are only possible because of our fantastic volunteers. Well done to the Under 12’s led by Russell Town for organising the event and to Fiona Lawrence, our fixture secretary. We are also extremely fortunate to have the support of so many local businesses and sponsors. We would like to thank Savills Amersham, our principal festival sponsor, for their continued support. Special thanks to the Seniors who also gave up their time to present medals.

MATCH REPORT A&C 1XV 59 - Old Priorians 24 26th September 2026
Following a two-week delay to the start of our league season from the summer droughts, the Chiltern boys started their campaign by hosting Old Priorian RFC. The energy was high around the clubhouse, with a big lunch and the launch of our new away kit. We celebrated our U13 team, who received their match shirts and A&C ties, as they make their step up from mini to junior rugby. Congratulations boys - you are the future of our club! We also honoured a club legend, Jeff Choules, who sadly passed away last weekend, with a minute of applause before the game commenced. It took just one minute for the Chiltern boys to cross the line and score. A missed exit kick from Old Priorians created a 6-vs-3 overlap, with new captain Sam Lunnon breaking the line and offloading to debutant Beau Delaney, pinning his head back, curls to the wind, and finishing the try with a somersault over the line. Old Priorian’s got the next advantage with an off-feet penalty in front of the posts, and opted to kick for goal, bringing the score to 5-3, with Chiltern under pressure.
The rest of the first half was a points frenzy for our red and whites. A chip over the defensive line from Dan Kingsley allowed Conor Segre to put pressure on his opposite winger, forcing a turnover in the ruck and dotting it down in the corner, with our new fly-half Will Baildon nailing the conversion from the sideline. A&C then nailed a line out maul 10m out from the opposition’s try line, creating a massive gap on the blindside, allowing Baildon to fold around and score a try of his own. Two more converted tries followed in the first half - another set of fast hands allowed Segre to get his second of the match, and a speedy 70m dash from full-back Louie Mould brought our half-time score to 31-3. Old Priorians brought the heat in the opening moments of the second half - a deep restart kick and speedy tackle denied our exit from our half, and they brought the score to 31-10. We responded quickly with quick hands and some feisty hand-offs, allowing Sammy Sinclair to get his name on the scoreboard. 38-10 up, and the game was hardly over.
Conor Segre was hungry for more, and broke past 3 tacklers to go in for a hat-trick in under 50 minutes. OP’s were also out for more, and secured possession off the back of a scrum, offering a crash-ball for their centre, finding a gap in our line and brought the score to 45-17. Into the final 10 minutes, and the heat was tiring for both teams. However, thanks to the hard pre-season work of our new S&C coach Jon Armour, Chiltern kept on pushing, and the speedy feet of Sammy Sinclair gifted him another converted try. Old Priorian’s were out of contention for the win, but were pushing for another couple of tries for a bonus point - and they managed to get one more with a few minutes to spare. A quick regroup under the posts and a shout from Joe Batt got us back in line, and with the clock in the red, Tom Fawsett - in his new position in the back row - dragged three defenders around his legs over the try line to score our ninth try of the match. Will Baildon secured his seventh conversion, bringing the final score to 59-24.
MATCH REPORT A&C 1XV 47 - Teddington 31 3rd October 2026
We headed to the lovely riverside borough of Richmond, where Teddington Rugby Club were set to host our mighty Chiltern boys, still buzzing after the previous week’s win vs Old Priorian. Teddington came into the game searching for their first win of the season, after losing by just 2 points against Ealing. They didn’t take long to open the scorecard - a penalty in front of the posts after just 2 minutes saw Teddington lead 3-0. These would be the only points Teddington scored in the first half, and Chiltern put on a show to turn the lead over. Joe Batt started us off with a crash-ball try, and Will Baildon adding extras by booting the ball through the posts, over the fence and onto the neighbouring golf course. George Wood chipped the ball just over the defenders head, retrieving it himself and offloading to Sam Lunnon to go in for our second, with Baildon converting again, and losing a second ball. The first half tries kept on coming, with Louie Mould slipping through the hands of three
defenders to score in the corner, with an extra 2 added on by Baildon. Josh Finch was up next in his first league match of the season, charging our forwards through a driving maul and landing the right side of the try line. Baildon was successful again in his conversion, and again for the next try by George Wood - a storming 50m dash saw our returning winger get his first of the year. This brought the score to 35-3, and brought an end to the first half. The second half started as a completely different story. Teddington were fired up and not letting A&C get away with anything. We gave away a few mistakes, and a double penalty against Charlie Swerling saw the referee reaching for his pocket - luckily just a yellow, so 10 minutes on the sideline. This was Teddington’s cue to pounce. They added two converted tries while they had an extra man on the field, and went on to show their true strength by scoring yet
another against our 15-strong side. The score was now 35-24, our lead closing down quickly, and pressure building with every team talk under the posts. Our rescue came 10 minutes later through a back-line handling masterclass, and Noah Jarvis sliding through the opponent’s tackle to score. With 7 minutes to go, we led 40-24. Teddington needed to score again for any hope of overturning the lead - and they managed to get their bonus point try with just 3 minutes to go. Chiltern weren’t quite done yet though - Sammy Sinclair still had gas left in the tank. With the clock in the red, he danced his way down the side line, stepping past a few
defenders, and getting his third of the season. Baildon added his 6th conversion of the day, bringing the final score to 47-31. A bonus point win, 2 missing rugby balls, and 3 parking fines later, we left Richmond with all eyes turning to HAC on October 10th.

FROM THE TOUCHLINE Welcome To The New Season...!! IThe good buzz around the club continues with this past weekend seeing the mini’s festival in full swing on Sunday. Congratulations to all the organizers and teams that participated. Yet again a massive success. I would like to say thank you to the following: Josh Finch: I would like to take the opportunity personally to thank Josh Finch for his services as 1st team captain over the past seven years. This makes Josh the longest standing captain in club history along with his 114 caps for the club, an outstanding achievement in any rugby career. During the seven-year tenure as captain Josh helped the club achieve level 5 status and maintain the level with drive, determination and good humour. Josh always leads from the front and will continue to be a very valued and influential part of the team and wider senior squad moving forward. He is a fine example of a true club man, credit where credit is due is always deserved and you deserve it..!! We all look forward to seeing you in red & white, back on the pitch very soon. Thank you Finchy. Andrew Toole: Today marks the end of an era. Andrew has played for the club for many years and is leaving the area to move back to Edinburgh. A grand total of 55 first team appearances and countless 2nd team games.
I would also pay tribute to Lauren’s baking on training nights. The “Cakes” she provides for the boy’s has been nothing short of exceptional. We will miss the Toolie’s...!! Rugby Roundup: 1st XV: Two league games in and two wins under our belts. Old Priorians & Teddington both putting up respectable second half fightbacks. As I have always said, level 6 rugby is not easy, and we will have plenty of close encounters throughout this season. As it stands today, we are sitting second on points difference with four teams on eight points respectively. Today’s home game against HAC will be a cracker, and I can’t wait for kick off. 2ND XV: The 2nd XV played Slough (away) recently in their first league game and were victorious with an 80-7 win. Today’s game will be a tougher match with regular rivals Maidenhead always putting up a good fight. Women’s XV. A+C Women in a combined team with Aylesbury played on Sunday 27th Sept in a four-way festival being hosted by Beaconsfield and come out winners!! What a great start to the season. The feedback was tremendous and a great day had by all. Next game is tomorrow Sunday 11th away 2pm at Aylesbury against Beaconsfield. Should be a great game. Please support if you can.
Andrew has been an absolute stalwart on and off the field. His no nonsense approach to training and games days has had the respect from his fellow team mates.
Enjoy the weekend.
We wish Andrew & Lauren our best wishes for the move back to Scotland. The next club that Andrew & Lauren join are very lucky indeed to have such wonderful people join the ranks.
