On Saturday the first XV travelled over the border into Gloucestershire to play against Old Patesians. This game was meant to have been played back in December, but it was cancelled due to a waterlogged pitch. Again, it was a different side who turned up due to injuries; Marlborough now has a complete team of injured players on the side-lines. Young The slight bit of light at the end of the dark tunnel was that Colt player Ben Willmott made his debut for the firsts.

On Saturday, Marlborough travelled over the border into Oxfordshire to play the return leg of this league fixture. The sun was out, the air was fresh, and hopes were high of another good performance. Unfortunately, this was not to be the case; in the warm up Will Grant gave the team a scare when there was concern as to whether he would be able to play due to a very painful shoulder but he did manage to complete the full eighty minutes.

On Saturday, the first home game of the New Year and Marlborough finally pulled it out of the bag and got a win. This boost was vital for the team after not winning a game since the middle of November and where some lack lustre performances had been given, finally the tide had turned, and Marlborough came out and gave possibly their best display of the season.

After a two-week break (should only have been one, but the weather wasn’t playing nicely) the first XV were back on the Common and the opposition was from over the border – Oxford Harlequins. Sadly, it was a rather depleted Marlborough side that was put out due to the accumulation of injuries which have been sustained by the Marlborough squad. Three of the lads managed to injure themselves at training – not very helpful.
