Students from Chiltern Learning Trust Join Bedford Blues Foundation for an Exciting Matchday Experience
On an exhilarating weekend for local rugby, students from schools within the Chiltern Learning Trust had the opportunity to join the Bedford Blues Foundation for a memorable matchday experience at Goldington Road, just ahead of the much-anticipated “Battle of Bedfordshire” clash between Bedford Blues and Ampthill RFC.
Cedars Upper School and Putteridge High School brought students eager to learn more about rugby and to be part of the thrill of a live professional game. Students from Cedars Upper and Putteridge High were treated to a pre-game training session, organised by Blues Foundation, where they participated in skill drills and activities designed to give a hands-on insight into the athleticism and strategy that fuel the sport.

The pre-game training was a unique opportunity for students to interact with professional players and coaches, who emphasised the importance of discipline, resilience, and dedication. Students took to the training eagerly, showing enthusiasm and commitment, and many were inspired by the real-world applications of teamwork and sportsmanship they saw on the field.
As the match drew closer, the excitement intensified when students from Cedars and Putteridge joined together to form the Guard of Honour. Standing proudly, they cheered as the teams ran onto the pitch, a moment that highlighted their own involvement and deepened their appreciation for the game and Bedford Blues.
With Bedford Blues taking on Ampthill RFC in the thrilling “Battle of Bedfordshire,” students left with cherished memories and a newfound appreciation for rugby, teamwork, and community spirit.
