Biggleswade
from under eight up to an under 19 colts XV. The youngsters
are very much part of the club and there is an interchange
between the young people and the senior players.
At home league matches a youth side will support the 1st
XV by being ball boys, water carriers and forming a guard of
honour to the teams. Senior players shake off the hangover on
a Sunday morning by turning out to assist in the training of
the youngsters, boys and girls.
When they get to senior level there is a Development XV
to bring on the talent and be part of the First Team Squad. But
players at all levels are encouraged to train and improve their
skills so that they get more out of the game. Biggleswade run
three senior sides with an occasional Vets XV.
The Club has previously run a Ladies team and hopes to
be more active again in this area soon. The Ladies are training
and hope to play competitive matches soon.
The Club has six well drained pitches but the changing
facilities are showing their age and will need replacing
when funds are available. There are four squash courts in
the clubhouse building which are not as heavily used as in
previous years. It has long been an aim of the club to try and
convert one to a social area which will overlook the 1st XV
pitch.
Biggleswade is a thriving club with a proud history
of being a part of the local community. The Club feels that
aspiring to be a Midlands 1 side again in the next five years
is realistic and everyone is working very hard to achieve that
ambition.
