Shipston 4’s act as the development team for the club. Our numbers tend to be filled with players who are new to the game, Colts and Under 17s having their first taste of adult rugby, social players, players returning from injury and finally the old buggers.

Although there is a regular Veterans Team who play games throughout the year some of these old codgers are too senile to realise that their bodies can’t take the abuse any more. These sorts of fools are the type who don’t find the occasional Vets game enough for them....so they turn out week in week out for the 4’s!
