Fans
of the club recently gathered to record a track which they hope will become the
official Bedford Blues club song.
"Come on the Blues"
was the brainchild of businessman Dave Ledsom - a key figure in keeping first
class rugby at Goldington Road. Ledsom died last November before being able to
develop the project himself but friends and fans of the club decided it would
be a perfect tribute to his memory.
Exeter Chiefs completed their line-up for the coming season with
the signing of Number 8 and inside centre Michael Stupple.
Stupple was a
member of the Truro College side which won last season`s Daily Mail Schools Cup
and has made one bench appearance for the Chiefs.
The club has also confirmed
that Richie Baxter has stepped down as club captain after 285 games at the helm.
A new skipper will be announced later this week.
London Welsh have announced that a consortium of potential investors
will be holding an open meeting at Old Deer Park on Wednesday July 1st.
A
statement on the club website reads,
"The purpose of the meeting
is to give an update on the current situation, let you know how you can help and
also to answer any questions.
The consortium apologises for
the short notice but, as you are aware, there is not a great deal of time available
to secure the future of London Welsh."
