The Lichfield Colts have successfully made it to the final 16 in the country, beating strong opposition on the way and are now poised to make it to the semi-final, this Sunday at Lichfield Rugby Club.

The team, made up of junior and senior Colts have fought hard this season against a number of injuries and a record number of six players, selecting for Premiership and National Academies.

In the previous round, they narrowly beat an impressively strong Hinckley team and have been preparing well for the match against a renowned and formidable Kettering team.

They have sacrificed a great deal to get this far and are not taking this opportunity lightly, putting extra training in and fighting hard for team selection and especially for the chance to play in front of their home supporters, family and friends.

A win this Sunday will secure a place in the quarter finals, so please come along and show your support to the team, the club and the city, have a drink or two and something to eat and hopefully celebrate a victory for this exceptionally worthy bunch of young men.

Kick off at Sunday 2pm at LRUFC, see you there!
