Eastern Counties Rugby Union

50 years ago on 14 October 1968, Holt RFC opened their new ground at Bridge Road, High Kelling by playing an Eastern Counties invitation XV. The large crowd was entertained by some sparkling rugby, the result of which was Holt RFC 19 Eastern Counties 26.
In order to celebrate this anniversary, Eastern Counties have kindly agreed to again raise an invitation XV to play Holt RFC, exactly 50 years on from that original game of ‘sparkling rugby’, which will be played on:
Sunday 14 October 2018
kick-off at 3pm
Prior to the game there will be a celebration lunch sponsored by Dalbo UK with the meat kindly supplied by HV Graves of Briston. Guests will include some of those who played in the original match 50 years ago, including the referee Mike Stott. Those who would like to be part of this celebration and wish to book for the lunch, are invited to contact:
