Season report for U13s Girl’s Team The season kicked off with a game against Milton Keynes.

What an interesting season it has been this year for the U18 girls, some fantastic highs as a squad and for individuals and few lows on the pitch. All part of the continual learning of this group players who are consistently progressing as a squad. The season started with friendly matches against Milton Keynes who are

A difficult season for many reasons but as ever seeing the boys playing Rugby and importantly enjoying it made up for any difficulties we had. Under 17’s teams have historically been difficult to maintain as the demands of school, part time work and girls take their toll. However we were determined to keep the age

The U16 coaching team unanimously describe this season as an utter rollercoaster ride! We’ve had some pretty unsatisfactory performances followed by sheer brilliance. Promotion to the top tier of the Herts & Middlesex League at the end of last season exposed a big difference in the intensity and physicality of the rugby on the pitch.

The U15’s have had yet another enjoyable and successful season. The age group continues to run two mixed ability sides for friendlies and East Midlands league games and then selects the strongest side available for the East Midlands Cup competition. The fixture list has pitched the squad against the best clubs in the age group

The 2017-18 season was Darren Prosser & Gary Hobart’s second full season as head coaches ably assisted by fitness coach Abe Kerr, forwards coach Keith Garwood, backs coach Jamie Prosser with admiral help throughout from Phil Standbridge during the campaign.

Ampthill Academy Announcement

The U15s have had a good season with 38 registered players providing a good spread of talent.

This season we competed in the East Midlands Junior league,

The start of the season saw some new faces and additions to the U14 squad growing the number of players to enable the squad to consistently field two teams.

This season has been a challenge in many ways for this group of girls. It was the first year of the experimental cluster with Bedford Junior Blues U18’s to increase the playing numbers to enter the RFU National Cup and they sadly suffered the loss of one of the squad members Chidera Alozie in January

This past season has been a difficult one with only the Herts/Middlesex league to compete in, albeit in the top division, but that providing only six fixtures. Also with there being no u17’s Beds Cup competition the number and quality of friendly fixtures was therefore always going to be an important issue. The squad size

Ampthill Girls have been running now for two seasons and the progress of the U15 and U18 girls this season has been something to behold.

Following double promotions at the end of last season to the East Midlands Championship league and the Herts/Middlesex Division 2 the season ahead was always going to be a tougher one. The squad had grown to 28 players with a few players relocating clubs to Ampthill and a couple of players returning to rugby, all

So the chapter closes on the epic journey of this remarkable group of young men, finishing where it started by becoming the Bedfordshire County champions. Entering the quarter finals with a number of players unavailable due to injury and sickness, the squad was supplemented by a number of very enthusiastic & talented under 17`s. The

The U14s have a had great season culminating in winning the HML league at the top of the table scoring 247 points and only conceding 46 and thereby gaining promotion to division 2 next season. Whilst we did very well against teams outside our usual stomping ground, games against our neighbours didn’t fare so well,

Nationally, this age group is notorious for players leaving rugby and pursuing other options. We started the season with 24 players, but were soon struggling to get 18 to turn up to matches. We even played one match with only 12 players. Luckily, we have quite a lot of strength in depth and it is

Ampthill 17 v 15 Biggleswade Beds Cup Semi Final

Peterborough 15 - 0 Ampthill

U13 HERTS & MIDDLESEX LEAGUE  Amps 41 Datchworth 7 A good win but not quite the usual flowing rugby we have been seeing. That said, the win puts us top of the league ! Josh opened the scoring with an unconverted try after 7 minutes from a tap & go carried well by Billy and then

Ampthill hosted Hitchin on an unseasonably warm and sultry afternoon. Our pre-match pundit Russell Spur, sitting decisively on the fence, divined that the match ‘would be 50/50’, and his incisive declaration turned out to be surprisingly accurate.

Ampthill travelled to the impoverished suburb of Croxley Green, where the average semi sells for a paltry £404,412, and you can pick up something detached for as little as £745,000.
