🦔🏆 2XV DO THE DOUBLE 🏆🦔

Hitchin 2XV add the Herts President's Trophy to their Counties 3 Herts title, sweeping everything before them in a historic 2025/26 campaign!

It was a nervy, low scoring thriller of a match that had everything, and the two sides could only be separated by a single conversion.

Cheshunt led for much of the match, scoring an early try and two first half penalties. A Ben Lokos try and two Cian Hynes kicks saw us trail 11-10 at the interval.

A tremendous carry from Number 8 Joe Burton gave us a 15-11 lead, but pressure from Cheshunt eventually told with an intricate set play from the back of a 5 metre scrum putting them back ahead.

With less than 10 minutes to play, a nerveless Hynes penalty from the 15 metre line gave Hitchin a precious 2 point lead, that they defended with everything they had, and Will Roberts thumped the ball off the field, greeted by the final whistle and wild celebrations!

We knew we would have to be at our best to beat Cheshunt Rugby Club and so it proved. This was the seventh mens fixture between the two clubs this season, and all seven have been played to the core values of the sport. Both clubs work relentlessly to deliver amateur rugby to their local community, and both clubs are flourishing at all levels of Mini & Youth, Womens and Mens rugby as a result. All at Hitchin Rugby Club will be cheering on Cheshunt 1XV at Twickenham next Saturday, and look forward to the many games between our clubs for seasons to come.

Our last participation in the Herts President's Trophy was seven years prior, at this venue, a heartbreaking defeat to St Albans. That day, it was our 1XV competing for the Trophy. In 2026, our 2XV bring it home to Old Hale Way!
