Bedford Junior Blues has been providing rugby for children in reception to year 13 for nearly 50 years. In 2012 we provided a player pathway with the introduction of a Colts Section and in 2020, for the first time in our history, we launched a Senior Women’s Team. During the 2023/2024 season the club will be celebrating its 50th birthday with a range of events for both players and parents alike to showcase our club and its members.
Being a member of the ‘Junior Blues’ builds lifelong friendships. The coaches and committee members are all volunteers who have a keen interest in rugby, and in many cases, whose children have become rugby players.
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming new season, which promises to be an exciting one for our club. As we gear up for the season ahead, Kevin and I proud to share that this year also marks our 50th anniversary—a momentous milestone that deserves to be celebrated. Everyone has been working tirelessly to make this season unforgettable. From organising festivals to hosting special events, we aim to make this anniversary year one to remember.
But, our success wouldn’t be possible without the dedication and passion of our members and volunteers. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who has been a part of this incredible journey over the past 50 years.
As we move forward, let’s continue to uphold the spirit of camaraderie, sportsmanship, and teamwork that defines our club. Together, we will make the 50th anniversary season the best one yet.
Stay tuned for more updates and details about the festivities ahead. Let’s make this year a roaring success on and off the field!
