A mixed day for the Rangers teams this weekend 🏉

The First Team produced a fantastic away performance to secure a well-earned victory against Ince Rose Bridge 🏆

Unfortunately, despite a determined effort, the Academy Team fell to defeat at home against Thatto Heath 💪

Congratulations to the First Team on the win, and plenty to build on for the Academy as they continue their development.

Last night it was our U7s turn to join our Open Age squad and coaching team for a training session 🏉

From the moment they arrived, the youngsters brought plenty of energy, excitement and big smiles, throwing themselves into every challenge and activity. It was a great opportunity for them to learn from some of the club's senior players while enjoying a fun-filled evening on the field 👏

Sessions like these are a fantastic way to build confidence, develop rugby skills and strengthen the connection between all age groups across the club. A huge credit to our Open Age players, who were brilliant role models throughout and helped make the night such a positive experience for our future Rangers.

One Club. One Team. One Rangers.

With Men’s Health Week approaching in June, our Open Age rugby teams welcomed a guest speaker after training on Tuesday to deliver an important talk around mental fitness and wellbeing. 💙🏉

Using the “Mind in the Game” framework from Minds Matter UK, the session focused on recognising when someone may be “drifting”, the importance of checking in with teammates, and building positive habits both on and off the pitch.

The talk highlighted:
🏉 Opening up conversations
🏉 Looking out for teammates
🏉 Asking twice and really listening
🏉 The importance of movement, recovery, and sleep
🏉 Knowing where to go for support

Rugby is more than just the game — it’s about supporting each other as teammates, mates, and people, and creating an environment where everyone feels able to speak up.

A huge thank you to our guest speaker for coming in and sharing such an important message with the group, and to all the players and staff who took part. 💬

This week it was the turn of our U9s to join our Open Age squad and coaches for a brilliant evening of training and learning on Tuesday night 🏉

The energy and excitement from the young team were fantastic from the very start, with plenty of smiles, effort and enthusiasm throughout the session. The boys loved the opportunity to train alongside the senior players and throw themselves into every activity 👏

The night focused on fun, confidence building and developing key rugby skills in a positive and supportive environment, with our Open Age lads once again leading by example and helping create another memorable experience for the next generation of Rangers players ⚫⚪
