Kettering Rugby Club remains an amateur club and relies heavily on support from local businesses like yours. Whilst the members do pay membership fees they do not cover the costs of running such a large and successful club and we need even more of you to help to fund our ability to compete at the highest levels across our Adult, Youth, Girls and Mini/Junior age groups.

As always we offer a warm welcome to our match officials today.

It’s possible you won’t agree with every decision they make during the course of the game, but please remember this is Rugby Union, not Association Football – if you’re the type who enjoys berating or even abusing officials, I would respectfully suggest this is not the place for you.

Please respect the match officials.

WELCOME TO WAVERLEY ROAD

05

festive welcome to you all and a warm welcome to everyone who's made the short journey from Wellingborough for today’s game. You're all hopefully in for a great day!

This afternoon, our 1st XV’s need to get back to winning ways and close 2024 on a high. In all honesty, we're not where we'd hoped we'd be at this point in the season. But, as everyone involved with rugby in this league knows all too well, it's a long old season, and there's plenty of excitement still to come in the new year. I wish both teams well and here's to a great battle.

Speaking of excitement, our clubhouse will be filled with festive food, drink, laughter and music (and I'm sure some dancing). We will be keeping ourselves entertained with music so please do feel free to sing and dance as much as you can.

Today is a busy lunch, so please do support our event staff who will be working tirelessly to make sure you enjoy the day. Although this is the last home game of the year, we are already looking toward 2025 and we have two home fixtures in Jan/Feb 2025, and tables are booking fast for lunches: SAT 11TH JANUARY Kettering RFC vs Lutterworth RFC Dougies HITREDS Charity Lunch supporting The Pulmonary Fibrosis Trust SAT 1ST FEBRUARY Kettering RFC vs Market Bosworth RFC The Presidents Lunch All event info and ticket info is at the main club website www.ketteringrugbyclub.com and you can also speak to Clare book a place or even a table.

Peter May – President, Kettering Rugby Club
