BLUES CONFIRM PRE-SEASON FIXTURES

Bedford Blues have finalised their pre-season programme and are delighted to announce friendlies against Premiership giants Saracens as well as high-flying National One sides Blackheath and Plymouth Albion.
 
The opening pre-season fixture will be at home against our friends Plymouth Albion at 3pm on Saturday 12th August. Former Blue Kieran Hallett is now head coach at Brickfields, and he will be bringing his charges to Goldington Road for what is sure to be a rip-roaring encounter - much like the 2005 Powergen Shield final at Twickenham.

SPELMAN & FIELDS EXTEND THEIR STAYS

Bedford Blues have increased their squad size for the 2017/18 Championship season up to 27 after two more members of the current crop put pen to paper on new deals.

Bolstering the front row options for another campaign will be prop Dave Spelman and hooker Jacob Fields.

Spelman, 23, suffered a frustrating first season at Goldington Road. Having featured in the matchday squad on a regular basis, he picked up an innocuous looking knee injury in training at the tail-end of 2016 that ended up ruling him out for the rest of the season.
