Here’s what the hero captaining the Rugby boys to victory had to say:

“Following 3 consecutive promotions, KCL 1st XV have found themselves competing at the top of the BUCS university leagues in Premier South A alongside some of the biggest names in university sport.

“This experience has been invaluable to all the boys involved and has shaped us into a strong and tightknit bunch. We look forward to capping off this tough season with a win against the godless scum in front of our adoring fans. Rest assured the boys have been working hard in the gym, in the bar and on the training field to bring home that silverware once more.”
