EDF Senior Vase Quarter Final - (Away)
Dover's 1st XV (19) V (23) Cullompton RFC

The EDF Senior Vase has seen us over come local opponents, and sides from Norfolk and Essex, taking us to the quarter finals where we were drawn against Cullompton RFC (Nr.Exeter) Devon. Cullompton who also sit 2nd in their league, and boast an impressive record of not having lost at home in 2 seasons were this weekends formidable fixture. The team and much of the support travelled the 250 miles to Devon on the Friday, to ensure all were as fresh as possible.

Our hosts were superb, and should be proud of the fine facilities they have built up for themselves, the quality of the team and the true rugby hospitality afforded us. Cullompton are clearly working in a similar fashion to Dover, their side was young, strong and fast – which mirrors Dover and ensured an action packed game. The game was played at great pace and was a wonderful spectacle of which both towns should be exceptionally proud, and the result could have gone either way. Home advantage proved the edge and we wish Cullompton every success as they proceed in the competition, we will watch their progress with a tinge of envy as we focus our efforts on the league.

My thanks to the players, support staff, and the travelling support from Dover, who did the town proud and gave me such an enjoyable day (apart from the result of course).

Playing Kit Announcement!

There has been some concern as to what Dover’s representative rugby playing kit needs to be and where the boundaries / guidelines are. Hopefully the below will clarify this, for those of a much more senior age (please read Knickers for Shorts and Stockings for Socks), in accordance with the original club text.

Senior Sides

Shirts = Oxford/Cambridge Blue 4” hoops (Navy/Sky).

Shorts = Plain Navy.

Socks = Plain navy with sky Turn over tops.

Youth Sides (U13 – U17)

Shirts = Oxford/ Cambridge Blue 4” hoops (Navy/Sky).

Shorts = Plain Navy.

Socks = Navy and Sky Hoops.

Mini/Midi Sides (U7 – U12)

Shirts = Oxford/ Cambridge Blue hoops (Navy/Sky).

Shorts = Plain Navy.

Socks = Navy and Sky Hoops.

The socks with hoops can be purchased through the club shop, as can the Minis shirts (where the hoops are less broad for obvious reasons).

I hope this is of help.
