After a long and competitive season, we’ve finally reached the moment we’ve all been waiting for: the grand finale rounding up the 2025/26 campaign. What a fantastic afternoon lies ahead this Saturday 16th May, because we have not one but two cup finals taking place here today, back-to-back, on our very own pitch.
Before we kick off the action on the pitch, you might want to treat yourself to something truly special — a fantastic Carvery, freshly prepared and served by our acclaimed caterers, Royale Class Catering. For just £15, you can enjoy a generous, mouth-watering plate piled high with tender roasted meats, crispy roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, rich gravy, and all the trimmings. It’s the perfect way to settle in, warm up, and make the most of this cup final day. So don’t miss out book now at bookings.barnstaplerugby@
The first cup final of this incredible double-header will kick off proceedings at 1:00 p.m. sharp, and it’s a very special one: the Wooden Spoon Vets Devon League Final.
Contesting for this prestigious Wooden Spoon Trophy is our very own Barnstaple Vets and standing in their way are the Teignmouth Vets,
What we have in store is an entertaining, hard-fought, and thoroughly enjoyable final — a true celebration of veteran rugby and community spirit — kicking off at 1:00 p.m. So find your spot, grab that carvery, and let’s get behind both sides for a cracking start to the afternoon.
The Main Event: Devon RFU Intermediate Cup Final
This is a clash between two very worthy opponents. On one side, we have our very own Barnstaple Athletic, who have finished as the third-best team this season in the highly competitive Counties 1 Western West league. On the other side, standing in their way, are the side that finished fourth in the division above them — Regional 2 — and our good friends from Okehampton.
This should be a truly fascinating battle. Although these two teams find themselves a division apart in league terms, they are both, in fact, right at the very top of their game. Form, pride, and cup glory don’t always follow league hierarchies — and that’s what makes knockout rugby so special. Everything points towards an absolutely tremendous match that will finish the 2025/26 season in the best possible style.
We are absolutely delighted to invite you all to this special event. Whether you’re a loyal supporter, a visiting fan, a volunteer, or just here to soak up the atmosphere, please know that your presence makes days like this possible.
So sit back, raise a glass, enjoy the hospitality, and get ready for a thrilling showcase of rugby. We hope you thoroughly enjoy everything we have on offer today — on and off the pitch. Let’s make it a finale to remember.
