On Saturday 2nd September the first league fixture of the 2023/2024 rugby season for Bury St. Edmunds began at the Haberden. The Bury Rugby Men’s 1st XV faced Old Albanian RFC, and James Bailey Planning Limited were the official Match Day Sponsor.
The day began with the 2023/2024 Colts side up against the Old Albanians U18’s in a curtain raiser to the Men’s 1st XV match, which saw a comfortable win for the home side.
The 1st XV’s team kicked off at 3.00pm. This was a much closer game, with Bury eventually coming away with a nail-biting win. To cement their victory, Bury were rewarded with a penalty kick in the last minute of the match that was converted by Kodie Hawkins, who was named Player of the Match. The final score was Bury 21-20 OAs.
It was a brilliant and successful day of rugby, and JBPL are very proud sponsors of Bury Rugby.
