Among these we have Cowbridge who are our Welsh Team of the Season 2017-18 and Thanet Wanderers who will be in a new league this season as well as Drybroke and Pembroke. We also visit Kings Cross Steelers, the first gay men’s club who enjoyed an unbeaten season and Chippenham who have built a reputation for playing fast, attacking rugby. Also in this issue we feature a number of clubs playing an important role in their local community including Wellington, Bradford on Avon and Strathendrick.
