News
Match reports, club news, and a fair bit of local rugby history. Season one, start to finish.
Season One: A Look Back
Played 14, won 11, 19 players used. Two titles, and a trophy nobody had lifted since 1990.
Cheltenham: Unbeaten, and Champions
Unbeaten in a day: four pool wins, a draw, and the final. Twenty tries and 118 points.
A Club, Not an Invitational
Nineteen players, seven clubs, six levels of the pyramid — and one rule that shapes the lot of it.
A Trophy Back From 1950
First played for in 1950. Last played for in 1990. Back on the table in 2026 — and we are the first name on it since.
Champions at Hamplified
Five played, five won, in our own kit and our own town — and the day ended with a trophy nobody had lifted since 1990.
The Kit Lands
Five days after our first tournament, the boxes finally turned up.
Hertford U23: Where TR7 Started
Our first competition, in the elite U23 draw. Two wins, two defeats — and the two we lost went to the last play.
Kit Ordered
Order placed, sizes in, and a wait that ran slightly longer than the fixture list allowed.
Choosing the Kit
Before we had a fixture list or a squad, we settled on what TR7 would look like.
