Westbury RFC

FULL TIME | MELKSHAM 28–29 WESTBURY

Pre-season starts with a win.

A short trip across to Melksham for our first run-out of the new season, and a close one sees us come away with a 29–28 victory.

A big thank you to Melksham RFC for hosting us, the referee for giving up their time, everyone who made the trip across to support us and, of course, every lad who pulled on the Westbury shirt.

Plenty more work to do, but good to be back out there.

Westbury RFC 2026/27 is underway. 💚🖤

After a very dry summer, the men are back in action this weekend for their first pre-season game away to Melksham.

Your support would be hugely appreciated as the lads complete their first run out 🟢⚫️

PRE-SEASON DIARIES | SESSION 9

A shorter session this week, but the intensity went up.

We started by welcoming some new faces before splitting off – the forwards working on set pieces while the backs ran through their moves.

From there we came back together to run through our new pre-match contact warm-up, before finishing with game scenarios from all over the pitch. Attack, defence, different starting positions – reset and go again.

Then arguably the most important part of pre-season…

Because the work on the pitch is only part of it.

THE TEAM IS MADE ON & OFF THE PITCH.

FIXTURE UPDATE | NEW DATE 📅

Our pre-season fixture against Oldfield Old Boys RFC has been rearranged and will now take place on Saturday 12th September.

That means our first run-out of the new season will be away to Warminster on Saturday 5th September, before we welcome Oldfield the following weekend.

Two important friendlies to get some game time in the legs before the league season gets underway on Saturday 26th September.

Not long now. 🏉

PRE-SEASON DIARIES | SESSION 8 💚🖤

Taking it from the training ground to the pitch.

Session 8 saw us build on the work from the last few weeks, with the focus firmly on bringing our attacking and defensive shape together.

After some contact work, the forwards went into lineouts while the backs worked through their moves, before coming back together to attack and defend from set piece.

The big focus was getting into shape naturally across the whole pitch, working through the phases and making sure everyone knows their role rather than starting already set.

We finished with a structured game to put it all into practice.

Another good session. Another step forward.

RAISING THE STANDARD.

📖 PRE-SEASON DIARIES | SESSION 7 💚🖤

Another session down as we move one step closer to the start of the new season.

This week saw the squad continue building on the work from previous sessions, with the focus shifting towards putting our structures into practice:

🏉 Forwards working on the scrum machine
⚡ Backs sharpening up their moves
🔄 Attacking shape from set pieces
🛡️ Continuing to develop our defensive structure and getting 1, 2, 3 nailed
💥 Contact work on the bags as a defensive line
📋 Bringing it all together on the pitch with attack and defence from set piece

As pre-season progresses, the emphasis is increasingly on repetition and getting our shape right as a team. Building on each session, tightening up the details and getting ourselves ready for competitive rugby.

One session closer. ⏳🏉

PRE-SEASON DIARIES | SESSION 6 💚🖤

Another solid session in the bank as preparations continue for the new season.

This week the focus was on sharpening up the fundamentals:
🏉 Small-sided games to get everyone moving
💥 Defensive contact work and three-man pod structure
📍 Lineout drills
⚡ Backline moves
🔄 Multi-phase attack and defence from set pieces
🚀 Finishing with attacking structure and playing from turnover ball

With the season getting closer, it's all about repetition, building combinations, and making sure everyone is comfortable with the game plan. Every session brings us one step closer to being ready for the first whistle.

The hard work continues. 💪
