Unbelievable experience for our U15 rugby squad to play @worcswarriors Sixways stadium today vs @droitwichrfc. Many thanks to our hosts who arranged this amazing experience for both sides as they trod in path of current England players Finn Smith and Jamie Lawrence both former @worcswarriors players. Also to @bridgingfinancesolutions for helping sponsor today’s pitch hire. Well done to our opponents who showed their class and the @birkenheadschool boys who showed lots of guts and grit after an intense week of touring and Wednesdays national 1/4 final. Great way to finish the tour . @droitwichrfc and Matt Nichols many thanks πŸ™ #rugbyvalues @bridgingfinancesolutions @matt_nichol @oldbirkoniansociety @nextgenxv
