Cainscross RFC are celebrating silverware once again after edging past Dursley RFC IIs with a 22–19 victory in a thrilling Bill Adams Cup Final.
The match delivered everything a cup final should: crunching tackles, attacking flair, and no shortage of drama. Tries from Jack Rachael, Conor Glassonbury, Lewis Rawlinson, and Adam Carter proved decisive, with Rachael adding a crucial conversion. Rawlinson’s all-action display earned him the Man of the Match award.
The occasion was especially poignant for club stalwart Mike “Madness” Ashford, who bowed out after 20 years in Cainscross colours. Lifting the trophy alongside his teammates was a fitting finale to his long and committed playing career.
This marks the second Bill Adams Cup triumph under captain Mark Newman, following their 2022 success. Credit was given not only to the players but also to the passionate supporters who once again drove the team forward.
Cainscross RFC continue to grow both on and off the pitch, running a men’s senior side, a thriving Minis and Juniors section, and a Mixed Ability team that welcomes players of all ages and abilities.
