Bicester RUFC v Bracknell 2nd

Fixture: Bicester RUFC v Bracknell 2nd

League: Counties 1 Tribute Southern North

Date: Saturday 4th February 2023

A weekend with no Thame Utd game saw me make the incredibly short 1.2 mile journey to Bicester RUFC for their fixture against Bracknell RFC.

I’d spoken to Bicester via Twitter earlier in the week to check if I could come down and not only did they oblige they kindly covered a coffee and slice of cake in the bar pre-game. It’s always nice to be made to feel welcome and a free coffee and cookie went down a treat!

An entertaining game saw Bicester score 3 early tries before Bracknell fought back to make a game of it but they couldn’t get close enough to Bicester who ran out 40-19 winners.

See below for some of my favourite images from the game.

A scene setter… A scrum in front of the posts with the backdrop of Bicester’s new Kingsmere Estate.

A second half try. I caught the whole sequence but this single image was my favourite.

Sports images are often about a tight crop but I like this image mainly because of the referees face but there’s also plenty to keep the eye interested as you work across the image.

One of my favourites from the album.

Post match respect.

Bicester RUFC.
