We are delighted to welcome you to the first-ever Alliance Festival hosted by Daventry RFC!

This landmark event brings together teams, players, and families for a celebration of rugby, sportsmanship, and community spirit.

We look forward to an incredible day filled with great matches, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments.

Daventry RFC has enjoyed a remarkable few years, achieving back-to-back promotions, multiple cup final appearances, and securing two Paget Cup awards.

As a true community club, we know that it takes a huge amount of effort from players, coaches, volunteers, and supporters to keep the game alive and thriving. Rugby is built on teamwork—both on and off the field—and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who plays a part in making our club what it is today.

We have also placed a strong focus on developing our junior sections, investing time in schools to coach the next generation and working closely with Northampton Saints and Loughborough Lightning to provide exciting opportunities for young players. Our commitment to growing the game at grassroots level is stronger than ever.

We remain dedicated to inclusivity and making rugby accessible to all. This is reflected in the creation of our Valkyries Ladies' Team, offering both touch and union rugby, as well as our continued investment in increasing the number of girls playing across all mini and junior age groups.

With the Women’s Rugby World Cup practically on our doorstep, there has never been a better time to inspire new players and strengthen the future of the sport. We are excited for what lies ahead and determined to keep building a club that welcomes and supports everyone.

A huge thank you to all the teams, players, coaches, referees, volunteers, and supporters who have made this event possible.

Your passion and dedication are what make days like this so special.

Enjoy your day, and we look forward to seeing you on the field!
