UKAF 12 Coventry Rugby 65
The UKAF U23s opened their 2023 season with a fixture against Coventry RFC at Butts Park Arena. Following a fantastic U23s inter-service competition, the three services came together for a training camp hosted by RAF Brize Norton. Over a couple of days training, the team put together some basic structures and got to know each other, shedding their single service rivalries. Due to operational deployments and call-ups to the Senior Squads, many of the players from the inter-service campaign were unavailable but UKAF still put together a well balanced team of talented players.
Team: Bamber, Peacock, Wright, Kerr, Randell, Collins, Davison, Taylor, Bedford, Armiger, Katalua, Manson, Tamanivalu, Thresh, Needham, McCormick, Martin, Yabaki, Gilbert, Morris, Nasaqa, Murphy, Elliot, Powell.
