The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the inaugural Women’s Cup Final, where Winscombe RFC emerged victorious over Chew Valley Cats RFC in a display of impressive skill and determination. Avonmouth Claires Ladies also celebrated a win, taking home the Plate after their opponents were unable to field a team.
The excitement didn’t stop there. The Butcombe Brewing Co. Bristol Combination Bowl final went into extra time,ultimately being decided by the first-ever “Golden Point.” Southmead RFC snatched the win from the spirited Bristol Harlequins RFC in a truly heart-stopping finish.
Frampton Cotterell RFC added to the drama, clinching the Butcombe Brewing Co. Men’s Vase in another nail-biting match, edging out Old Colstonians RFC with a final score of 21-18.
The day was a testament to the passion and dedication of everyone involved in Combination rugby. A massive thank you goes out to all the organizers, volunteers, and fans who made this a truly memorable event. We can’t wait to see what the 24/25 season brings!
