🇵🇹 COIMBRA, HERE WE COME 🇵🇹

This Friday, our U14s board a plane to Portugal for one of European
youth rugby's most respected events — the 26th Torneio Memorial JP,
held annually in Coimbra in honour of João Pedro Leite, a young AAC
Coimbra player who passed away aged just 18.

For 17 boys, 5 coaches and a travelling group of parents, this is the
moment all those wet Sunday mornings, muddy training sessions, long
bus rides to away fixtures and rugby festivals at Byng Road have
been building toward.

Our three fixtures:

🔵 CDUL (Lisbon) — Portugal's most decorated rugby club, reigning
Torneio JP champions, and the club that produces the bulk of
Portugal's age-grade internationals.

⚫⚪ AAC Coimbra — our hosts, the only top-flight Portuguese club
outside Lisbon, with a youth pipeline ranked among the best
in central Portugal.

🔵⚪ Sport Clube do Porto — a proud Porto club at the heart of
northern Portuguese rugby's revival.

Three brilliant clubs. Three different challenges. One BERFC.

Massive thanks to:
• Coaches Kev, Ant, Remi, Colin and Simon for getting the squad ready
• The parents and supporters travelling with us
• Everyone at BERFC who has helped get this tour off the ground

If you're back home and want to follow along, we'll be posting from
the tour all weekend.

To our boys: enjoy every minute. Wear the shirt with pride. Look
after each other. The whole club is behind you.

Top of the table clash. Last game of the season. Bar open. BBQ grill on. 6N on TV.

Why would you be anywhere else?

Ahead of the 1st XV’s final game of the season, .chunk put together some words to share with the team and the fans.

What a first season it’s been with this guy at the wheel! Here’s to many more, and the continued success of the club.

The club will be open all Saturday for the last league game, so if you want to come and support .chunk and the boys, please come down & enjoy some quality rugby, with just a dash of heart.

THIS WEEKEND: we return to Byng Road for a double header to close out the season! Our friends at head to Fortress Byng Road for an exciting season closer.

Opening the day is a veteran’s affair - magic Mark Scrutton will take to the field to lead our seasoned gents to hopeful victory once more.

Then, It’s a top of the table clash for the 1st XV who are looking to close out our most successful recent season vs a strong Hackney 1st XV.

Bar is open all day and will be manning the bbq so come down and enjoy a great day of rugby for all!

HERE WE GO AGAIN: in the penultimate fixture of the league, your 1st XV head to for the return fixture in the second phase of the league. Looking forward to another fun clash, any travelling support welcome!

Tomorrow! The 1st XV are back in action v for the return leg of the Trophy. An exciting squad bolstered by the return of promising young talent (and Migs). KO 2pm, any travelling support welcome

The First XV got over a recent blip in form with a big BP win over Finsbury Park last weekend. Find out if they can build on that victory at the club tomorrow as the boys face at Byng Road.

It's a 2pm KO and the bar is open!🫡🍺
