3RHA RFC

Good luck to Pete, Paul & Jake today, all who have been selected in the starting XV for the Gunners in the Corps Championships Final today.

Try time!

Jake Richards grabbed a brace on debut as he and Paul Taura helped the Army Senior XV beat Oxford University 26-15. Well done both! 💪👊🏉

More good news!

Congratulations to Paul Taura who is playing at No8 for the Army Senior Team v Cambridge University tonight, and Freddy Seruisavou (on ERE) & Liam Bowman (ex-3RHA RFC) who started for the Army Masters in their 53-41 win against the Welsh Prison Service.

On to the next level...!

After his exploits for the U23 side, Jake Richards has been selected to play for Army 'A' v Coventry. Top stuff!

The setting for the game against 5RA today in the ARU Premiership & Championship; in a match played as 10s, the team won 61-7! Great performances all round. Next up - 4RA at Kingston Park (stadium) on Tuesday 12 December.

On Sat 11 Nov 17, 5 members of 3RHA RFC were selected to be part of a Gunners Rugby Team selected from Northern based units taking on an Infantry team at Kingston Park as part of the Newcastle Falcons Remembrance weekend fixture. Despite losing a close game 25-15, it was great occasion to be involved with.

3RHA RFC began their preparation for the 2017-8 season with a warm-up game against local side Ryton Rugby Union Football Club who kindly hosted the team for the evening. The match also served as a goodbye to stalwart Jordie O'Neil and the man-of-rugby-wisdom Bubba Norman.

The tour draws to a close with a game against the Fiji Navy at Albert Park in Suva, some cultural shows at Pacific Harbour Arts Village, and a visit to the Momi Bay Coastal Defences. Now for the long journey back to the UK. Thanks to all those that have helped us have an amazing 3 weeks in NZ & Fiji.

Great to a visit Navatu Primary School in Fiji for some community engagement. Amazing children, teachers and parents who have shown remarkable resolve and spirit in recovering from the devastating effects of Cyclone Winston. Something we will never forget.

3RHA RFC played their first game of tour against Cordite XV, a combined Gunner and Armoured Corps team from the NZ Army. In a hugely physical encounter, the team played well but struggled to pe*****te a staunch opposition defence, ending up losing the game. A great experience, particularly facing the Haka and the traditional Powhiri after the match.
