Deal & Betteshanger U13s and U15s travelled to Deal twinned town Saint Omer in France on Saturday 22nd April to play their first international games

The games were played against Rugby Club Audomarois (St Omer Rugby Club). Deal & Betteshanger were welcomed by the club president, the Saint Omer town mayor and the twinning committee.

The day was organised by Russell English from Deal & Betteshanger and Alan Fielding from Rugby Club Audomarois and they hope to have a return fixture next season in Deal.

Deal & Betteshanger U13s were first to play, playing the local U14s and their first 15-a-side game, winning 7-57, which is a fantastic result for this young team!

Deal & Betteshanger U15s played their game in the afternoon, against the local U16s team, winning 5-61!

This is an excellent result for rugby within our town, and the players represented their club and town very well. We should all be very proud of them.

This Saturday Deal & Betteshanger U12s, U13s and U15s host their first international tournament with teams from Folkestone, Sittingbourne, France and Holland taking part. Games kick off at 10.30am, band playing at 4pm. Food and drink will be available all day! Come down to what promises to be a great day of rugby and enjoyable family time!
