Bristol Harlequins RFC

Valhalla plays host to a huge afternoon of rugby on Saturday 31st January as Bristol Harlequins RFC welcome supporters down to Broomhill Road for a full double header of senior rugby, with both the 1st XV and 2nd XV in action on home soil. With two competitive fixtures, league implications at both ends of the table and plenty of quality on show, it promises to be a cracking day for players, supporters and neutrals alike.

The action gets underway at 14:00 with the 2nd XV taking on league leaders Ashley Down Old Boys II in what is set to be one of the standout fixtures of the season. Ashley Down arrive at Valhalla sitting top of the table and still unbeaten, setting the benchmark for consistency and performance throughout the campaign. However, Quins II will head into the contest full of confidence following a strong win last time out, and the home side will be relishing the opportunity to test themselves against the division’s pace-setters. With Quins looking to build momentum and Ashley Down aiming to protect their flawless record, all the ingredients are there for a fiercely competitive and entertaining encounter.

Following on at 14:30, attention turns to the 1st XV as Quins welcome Nailsea & Backwell II to Valhalla. The visitors currently sit 8th in the league, 13 points behind Quins, and arrive searching for form having gone without a win in their last six outings. Despite their recent struggles, Nailsea & Backwell II remain a well-organised and physical side who will pose a stern challenge, particularly with pride and points at stake. Quins will be keen to impose themselves early, build pressure and continue their push up the table, knowing that no fixture at this level can be taken lightly.

As well as a big day on the pitch, the club is pleased to confirm that both matches are available to sponsor as part of a special one-weekend-only offer. Supporters and local businesses have the opportunity to sponsor both fixtures for just £100, reduced from the usual combined cost of £140. This exclusive offer is only available for this weekend and provides excellent value while directly supporting the club and matchday operations.

With two competitive games, strong opposition and the usual Valhalla atmosphere, Saturday is shaping up to be a brilliant afternoon of rugby. The club encourages everyone to come down, show their support and be part of what should be an exciting double header at Broomhill Road.
