Horsham Rugby Club's under 16s will take part in a rugby festival in Amiens this weekend to mark the centenary of the Battle of the Somme.

Teams from Sevenoaks, Clifton and Horsham will be flying the flag for England and taking part against teams from France and Belgium in a two-day festival.

The Horsham team will attend a service in Thiepval to remember the many thousands who lost their lives at the Somme and in the Great War. And they will visit the trenches and battlegrounds where men of their age fought and died 100 years ago.

It promises to be a poignant occasion and it is an honour for our club to be invited. We wish them good luck and safe travels.
