Around the Ground at the MTG
What a weekend of rugby that was! Our 1st XV rediscovered their winning ways, whilst Canons and our Women were dominant in their games. Unfortunately, the Pilgrims unbeaten season came to an end, but they still sit comfortably at the top of Counties 1 Kent and look to their next opponents, Ashford 1st XV. Our juniors put in a fantastic shift, and even though our U16 Girls were overpowered by Bass, they fought hard and showed great future promise for a newly formed team.

6 Nations round 5
It’s the 5th and final of the 6 Nations, and it’s all about who wins the title and who is awarded the wooden spoon. England denied Ireland their 3rd Grand Slam on the bounce whilst reviving their title shot hopes if they manage a bonus point victory over France. Ireland remain favourites, though they need to avoid defeat to Scotland. How will winless Wales fare in the wooden spoon battle against Italy who are fresh from their memorable win over Scotland?
It is certainly going to be an entertaining Super Saturday, especially as we have three home senior matches being played at the MTG. Cheer them in the field, then come and cheer your teams on in the clubhouse where we will be showing all the 6 Nations games on our screens. The bar will be open, food will be served and there is also talk of music! What more can you ask for?
If you are playing in our Fantasy 6 Nations league, don’t forget to set your team for the final round. It looks like your Around the Ground at the MTG Editor won the last round, but it’s all to play for. This is the big one, a seat at the President’s table at the Partners Lunch goes to the overall competition winner. Don’t let it be me, I’m on a diet (Ed.)!
Super Saturday
Wales v Italy – KO 2.15pm
Ireland v Scotland – KO 4.45pm
Wales v England KO 8.00pm
The clubhouse bar will be open from 11.00am
Saracens V Harlequins
We are taking a coach up to The Showdown 4 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium where Saracens take on Harlequins following their 36 – 24 win in last year’s clash. We do not have any match tickets available, but we do have 16 seats available for those who have and want to avoid a three change train journey. The cost is £16 return per person, leaving from the MTG at 10.25am 23rd March, returning 8.45pm – Contact kirsty@cantrugby.co.uk to book your seats.
We wish you all the best of rugby weekends!
