Report of 2013-14 Season
The 2013-14 season presented many challenges to those involved in
Cambridgeshire rugby both on the field and off. We reach the end of the
season however with our enthusiasm for the game we love undimmed and
looking forward to the forthcoming season with relish – new approaches to
the development of our young players will need to be bedded in; a new
league structure for teams across Eastern Counties will doubtless present
opportunities to develop new friendships and the prospect of the Rugby
World Cup in Autumn 2015 is a mouthwatering one. The latter also presents
us with a once in a generation opportunity to promote our game and its
values to the wider community – one that the county will be working hard to
seize.
As always, the past season has been full of activity – much of which goes
unseen to large parts of the rugby community – but which could not take
place without the loyal and generous support of our sponsors. We therefore
record our gratitude to:

There can be no doubting the highlight of the domestic club season in 201314 was the revival of matches at first team level between Cambridge and
Shelford, with large crowds present at both the National League 2 clashes.
Honours were even on the field over the two games as Shelford first defeated
Cambridge at Volac Park and Cambridge then returned the favour at the
Davey Field later in the season. While both clubs maintain ambitions of
playing at a higher level, it was Cambridge who claimed local bragging rights
with a higher league position than their rivals this season – but both will be
looking forward to renewing their rivalry at the Davey Field on 27 September
this season.
Saffron Walden’s season continued right to the very end of the year as they
sought promotion to London 1. A 22-0 victory over leaders Ipswich in
December saw the Cambridgeshire side top of their league at Christmas, but a
pair of unfortunate losses in January meant that they were fated for the playoff position at season-end. A trip to Twickenham RFC (just a mile from HQ)
was to follow and a loss in extra time by the odd point in 87 means that the
Henham-based club will remain at London 2 level for the next season. The
renewed strength of the second team however means that there will be a
high level of optimism for going one place better in 2015.
Two Cambridgeshire clubs competed at London 3 level in the last season –
both having been promoted two seasons ago. Another season of
consolidation for Cantabrigians saw them finish in the upper half of the table
without ever seriously challenging for the promotion places. However the club
is in good spirits as it approaches its seventieth anniversary season and
significant investment in facilities will see them in good heart for the new
season. Wisbech also opened their renovated clubhouse this season but will
be returning to the Eastern Counties 1 league next season as a late run of
losses saw the Fenland club drop out of London 3 by a single point.
For much of the season, Newmarket looked likely to win the Eastern Counties
1, but injuries eventually took their toll as they lost a series of tight
encounters in the last two months of the season to miss out to West Norfolk
for the championship and automatic promotion. A play-off against Clapton –
runners up in Essex 1 – was lost by a single point and so a further season in
Eastern Counties 1 beckons. Ely will remain alongside them as their young
side continues to contest the upper reaches of the league – buoyed perhaps
by their appearance in the County Cup final – they will be looking to build
again in 2014-15.
For Mildenhall Red Lodge in Eastern Counties 2 the vagaries of player
availability continues to be a challenge, but they can look back with some
pride in having completed their league season, ensured that where they were
able to they also honoured the fixtures for their second XV in the Greene King
leagues, and will take the field again among their Cambridgeshire colleagues
in the new Eastern Counties leagues for next season.
For Cottenham-based Renegades, the season was one of transition as a
mixture of youth and experience led to a series of variable results – but an
honourable third place in the Green King Premiere table was obtained – while
for Sawston and March in the same league, some renewed stability was
achieved. Teams were fielded regularly, oppositions were hosted in the
appropriate style and genuine community rugby was delivered – no mean
achievement in times of increasing demands on players time and continuing
economic uncertainty.
The same can be said of Cambourne Exiles and Wendens Ambo who graced
the Greene King Deuxieme league with good humour, commitment and – at
times – skill. Indeed at all levels of our local game, we see individuals playing,
refereeing, volunteering for the sheer joy of the game, its camaraderie and its
values of teamwork, discipline, sportsmanship, respect and – most
importantly – enjoyment. While it might be the first teams who gain the press
coverage and can attract several hundred to pre-match lunches and the like,
all levels of a club from firsts to fifths contribute to this spirit and provide the
framework for games to take place.
Sadly, one famous name in Cambridgeshire rugby met its end this season as
Old Perseans finally decided to wind themselves up. As longstanding
secretary, Phil Harvey, reported: “It has been several years since the club has
played a single game and many more years since a regular fixture list has been
in operation. A few months ago I called together some of the local ex stalwarts
and it was decided, over a pint or two, that there is no sensible reason to
prolong the club's existence. We then had a big reunion on 12th April,
including taking in the Shelford v Cambridge match where we wore our old
OPRUFC shirts, some more comfortably than others! We had some great
years, in the 60s and early 70s especially, and this really is a sad but the
inevitable conclusion.”
The Youth and Mini Rugby scene across the county remains vibrant, with an
extensive programme of county cups at youth level, mini festivals and
tournaments being held. This year’s model of taking various events to
different clubs around the county proved successful and enabled the
workload to be more widely spread. The new age grade regulations from the
RFU have now operated for two seasons and are contributing to a faster and
more inclusive mini rugby game … we wait with excitement to see how the
increased skill level will translate into the older youth game. County Cups
were held at u13 to u17 level and this year the cup winners, runners up and
plate winners all took part in inter-county competitions with their
counterparts in Norfolk and Suffolk – a much enjoyed innovation.
The Cambridgeshire Youth County squads had an enjoyable and productive
year in terms of player development. With Cambridgeshire providing the
largest contingent of players selected for the Eastern Counties under 18
squad, there is a feeling that our player-centred approach to developing
young talent is proving its worth. This learning will be taken on board next
season as the youth squads – rebranded as the ‘Developing Player
Programme’ fall under the wing of the Premiership clubs. Cambridgeshire,
along with Suffolk, will form part of the Northampton Saints programme while
Leicester Tigers will take Norfolk under their wing. We wait for the final
details of the programme and its personnel but an exciting future beckons if
the prospectus is to be relied upon.
Every year the county awards the Dickie Jeeps Trophy to the outstanding
young player on the county scene, with some illustrious names being among
the winners. Those of a certain vintage will recognise ‘AW Hancock’ – trophy
winner in 1963 and 1964 and scorer of a famous match-winning try for
England in the Calcutta Cup in 1965. This year’s winner was Rory Hutchinson
of Northampton Saints and Shelford and before that Wendens Ambo Mini
Rugby – a Scottish youth international at under 18 and under 20 this season
and part of the Scots’ Junior World Cup squad. Congratulations are due to him
and also to Alan Gregory of Cambridge RFC who represented Scotland at
under 16 level.
The Cambridgeshire County XV also played two matches and ended up
sharing the Inter-Counties Cup with Norfolk. With Gareth Godfrey and Danny
Hunter taking on the county coaching duties at short notice – just days before
the home match versus Suffolk – it was a huge performance which saw
Cambridgeshire lose by just two points at Ely in front of a crowd of assembled
members from both counties. With Norfolk defeating Suffolk, all was set for
the deciding game at Thetford. Cambridgeshire won by seven points leaving
Norfolk and Cambridgeshire unable to be separated and so sharing the trophy
– the first time Cambridgeshire’s name would be on the cup since 2008.
The season finished with two county cup finals held at Ely on the first
Saturday in May … Cambridge Development defeated the hosts to take the
County Cup while Shelford IIIs defeated Cantabrigian IIs in the Junior Cup –
congratulations were due to all four teams for an entertaining day of rugby
and to Ely for providing a high quality venue and coping with a large crowd so
admirably. Next season’ the new league and cup structure will mean that we
have five matches to complete on the equivalent day in what should be a real
feast of the best in our community game.
One of the features of finals day was the provision of teams of four officials
from the Cambridge University and District Rugby Referees Society. We have
become used to the high quality support that CUDRRS give to all levels of our
game from Sunday morning youth matches, Wednesday afternoon college
games, Saturday afternoon senior games – but our gratitude should not go
unremarked.
And so we look forward to 2014-15 with undiminished enthusiasm. A new
league structure for our lower teams will enable clubs to progress to their
appropriate level while meeting new faces on the field; changes in the youth
development programme promises exciting new relationships with the
premiership ‘big boys’, but the core of our game and its values remains solid.
Our task is to grow the game – players, referees, volunteers and
st
administrators – so that it can meet the challenges of the 21 century, grow
beyond the image of ‘muddied oafs’ and ‘blazers’ that characterises rugby in
the minds of those who know no better, but retain the ethos of a game for all
played in the right way and for the right reasons – if we can do that, then with
the World Cup on our shores in 2015 the future looks bright indeed.

Cup Competition Rules
1.
2.
3.
4.
The Competitions shall be called the Senior, Intermediate & Junior Cups
with participation in the competitions agreed by the Cambridgeshire
RFU Committee. They are open to all clubs in full membership of the
Cambridgeshire Rugby Union and affiliated to the Eastern Counties
Rugby Union. In this context full membership means having paid the
st
subscription for the season in question by 1 November. The
Competitions shall comply with the laws, Byelaws and Regulations of the
RFU.
The Competition shall be administered by a Cup Organiser, who shall be
appointed annually by the General Committee and who shall be
responsible for the interpretation of the Rules with the exception of Rule
11. Otherwise the decision of the Cup Organiser will be final.
Participation in the competitions shall be interpreted as acceptance of
these Rules.
Player Eligibility:
a) A club XV, irrespective of which competition they enter, may only
play, or select as a replacement/substitute, players who hold
effective registration for that club in accordance with the RFU
Registration of Players Regulations or hold a bona-fide
membership of that club in cases where clubs are not expected to
register players in accordance with the RFU Registration of Players
Regulations.
b) A club may not select a player for a match squad if that player is
registered with another club in accordance with RFU Registration
of Players Regulations.
nd
c)
In the Intermediate Cup those clubs entering Development XVs, 2
rd
or 3 XVs (under whatever title) may not select players who have
played in a higher XV for more than one-third of the possible
games played by that player for the club in the season up to the
date of the Cup match.
nd
rd
d) In the Junior Cup those Clubs entering Development XVs, 2 or 3
XVs (under whatever title) may not select players who have played
in a higher XV for more than one-third of the possible games
played by that player for the club in the season up to the date of
the Cup match.
e)
5.
6.
Players who have been members of match squads for Intermediate
Cup matches may only play in Junior Cup matches if they have
played less than one-third of the possible games played by the XV
entered in the Intermediate Cup in the season up to the date of
the Junior Cup match.
f)
No player may play for more than one club in any one season in
either the Intermediate or Junior Cup.
g) If, following written objection to the Cup Organiser of the
Cambridgeshire RFU (received within 5 days of the match in
question), any player is found to have played whilst he is ineligible
under the above, then the result shall be awarded against the
offending club irrespective of the actual result
h) Should both clubs play ineligible players under the above, then
both clubs will be disqualified.
The rounds of the Competitions shall, whenever possible, be played on
set dates prescribed by the Cambridgeshire RFU. However, nothing in
these rules shall prevent a routine fixture counting as a competition
match, subject to the approval of the Organising Committee. In the
event of a competition match being postponed, cancelled or abandoned
for any reason, the home club shall inform the Organising Committee as
soon as possible and secure their approval for any revised arrangements
agreed between the clubs concerned at least 7 days before the revised
date of the match. Sides in the Youth Competitions must consist of
regular members of the Club’s Youth sides during the current season.
The draws for the matches in the Competition will be made immediately
following the AGM of the Cambridgeshire RFU preceding the
Competitions, with the first team drawn being the home side, unless
both sides agree to change.

Arrangements for matches shall be the responsibility of the home
club including obtaining the services of match officials.

The Cambridge University and District Rugby Referees’ Society will
appoint match officials for the Competitions.

7.
Arrangements however for the Finals shall be responsibility of the
Cambridgeshire RFU Committee.
In every match, except the Finals, points shall be scored in accordance
with Laws of the Game of Rugby Union.

If after the completion of normal time the scores are level, the club
that scored the most tries shall go forward to the next round.

If this does not produce a result, the club that scored the most
converted tries shall go forward to the next round.

If the scores, the tries, and the conversions from tries are equal,
the away club shall go forward to the next round.

8.
9.
Captains must ensure that precise details of scoring are agreed
with the referee in the case of scores being level at the end of
normal time.
Within 5 days after each match, the winning club shall be responsible for
notifying the Cup Organiser of the result.
In the Finals, points shall be scored in accordance with the laws of the
Game of Rugby Union.

If, after the completion of normal time, the scores are level, the
teams shall change ends, using the same players and
replacements. There shall be an immediate period of replay
between the two teams of 10 minutes each way, with a 3-minute
interval.

If no result is achieved, the teams shall continue for further
immediate periods of replay of 5 minutes (with 1 minute intervals)
until the first score. The team that scores first will be the winners.
If after four periods of replay there is no score, the game will be
decided on the toss of a coin.

During the periods of replay the teams shall change ends at the
intervals.
10. If possible the Finals will be played on neutral ground, but in any case
the Cambridgeshire RFU Committee shall decide the venue.
11. In the event of an objection being made under Rule 4(g), the President
of the Cambridgeshire RFU shall consider it and two independent
members of the Union nominated by him. Any decision reached by this
panel shall be final.
Playing Regulations
Replacements etc: Intermediate Cup
1.
If the Cambridgeshire Cup tie is played as a double header with a match
from an RFU competition then the regulations for that RFU competition
will apply.
2.
If the Cambridgeshire Cup tie is played as a stand - alone tie then the
current RFU KO Competition regulations will apply. 5 of the XVs in the
Intermediate Cup are eligible for either the RFU Intermediate, Senior or
Junior Vases. The London & South East Division Competitions Secretary
will issue the relevant regulations with the draws for the RFU
competitions.
Replacements etc: Junior Cup
1.
As 12 of the 13 XVs in the Junior Cup play in the Greene King
Leagues then the rules of those competitions shall apply. In general the
RFU laws apply, however a maximum of 7 replacements will be allowed
unless:
i)
otherwise agreed by both captains and referee before the
kick-off, or
ii) one side has replacements, the other has less than 15 players
and has not been offered players before the kick-off by the
opposition in which case no replacements shall be allowed.
In any event, the referee should agree with the two captains before the
game on whether or not replacements are available.
2.
There shall be no rotation of players during the game.
3.
Teams with replacements available are honour bound to loan such
players to an opposing side if that side is short.
Shortage of Players: Junior Cup
1.
All clubs are advised not to call off any fixture due to shortage of players
without first consulting with the opposing club and the Cup Organiser.
2.
Opposing clubs are encouraged to provide players in order to fulfil the
fixture, even if this means playing fewer than 15 players per side. This
could reduce to 10-a-side, where standard RFU rules should apply, in
exceptional circumstances in order to provide all those players present
with a game
Non-Contested Scrummages: Junior Cup
These will be allowed in all games in the interest of getting games played by
the maximum number of players. If a Club has a problem then they should
inform their opponents as soon as possible and the home team should brief
the referee. It is hoped that such actions will occur only in rare circumstances
and that clubs will not take a cynical advantage.

The Whistlers’ Trophy is the prize competed for each season by Clubs
affiliated to the Society and Cambridgeshire RFU.
The trophy is a large silver whistle, 25cm x 12cm, mounted on a wooden
plinth, and is awarded by the Society to the Club that has provided the best
support to it during the past year.
The competition aims to encourage Clubs to support the recruitment and
retention of referees by:



making referees feel welcomed, appreciated and valued;
showing respect for match officials on and off the field;
helping the Society to raise the standards of refereeing.
Referees assess Clubs’ performances after each match and report back to the
Society.
The assessment criteria have been revised over the years and now
concentrate on respect and hospitality. These are the two most important
factors that determine whether match officials enjoy their rugby at the Club
and look forward to returning there.
The trophy is awarded to the Club that attains the highest level of
performance over all these criteria and factors.
