It is with great disappointment that the club received notification, on Thursday evening at 10pm, that Swanage and Wareham decided to cancel the double pre-season friendlies scheduled for the 1st and 2nd XVs in Dorset “on safety grounds”.

Tottonians offered their own facilities to use as they were playable, courtesy of the considerable hard work that the groundstaff had put into ensuring the pitch has been watered using Bowsers and marked ready for play, but this was declined by our opponents.

Therefore, Tottonians will have an inter-club fixture on Saturday morning starting at 11.15am.  All are welcome to kick the season off and get that rugby fix once more.

Our next scheduled pre-season game will take place on Thursday 21st August at Water Lane when we will take on East Dorset Dockers in an evening fixture – kick off time to be confirmed.
