Veterans Rugby

Veterans rugby is for male players aged over 35. The tournament was first held in 2005 and was won by a stylish and well organised Tunbridge Wells side. 2005 also saw the first appearance of the Old Shootershillians. Who, in keeping with their name appeared to be the oldest side competing. Old Shoots seem to have little trouble enjoying the beer. Other vets sides have been near neighbours Canterbury, Gillingham Anchorians. The 2006 tournament was won by Ashford "A" led by Simon Hall. Ashford defeated an extremely strong maidstone side by just one try to nil in a closely fought final.
