First pre-season match a good test.

Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war.
- Donald Trump

On a glorious Summer's day, the 1st XV ran out for the first time against visitors and old friends Hartpury College.

Director of Rugby Darren Lloyd commented, "these games are important, it's a few weeks until the regular season starts and a test against an established side teaches us a lot".

Hartpury brought an extensive squad and their established status in national league one showed in some well drilled on-field moves. The try tally, 5 to 2, shows an entertaining game and Clifton showed endeavour, energy and a great spirit.

"It's not fun losing, even against a higher ranked side. We learned what to work on and the boys are already looking forward to the next pre-season match in 2 weeks", said Darren.

There was a good crowd and atmosphere at the match which bodes well for the season ahead.

See you in two weeks - bring some friends and let's get behind the team!
