Ampthill Rugby Club - Extras

The Ampthill 4th XV are more commonly known as 'Ampthill Extras'. At present they play in both the East Midlands Bombardier Merit table and Herts & Middlesex Merit Table 2. The extras have a glowing reputation both on and off the field providing a welcome home for players that are unable to commit as much time to Rugby as the 1st and 2nd XV but still want to play competitive rugby.

Ampthill Extras 31 - Old Albanian Gladiators 26

It's been a while since the Extras ran out onto a Dillingham Park pitch for a home match and not even the weather could dampen the excitement levels within the squad at the prospect of doing so.

Extras hosted Old Albanians' Gladiators, a team that have recently risen through the ranks of the HMMT league structure.

There was also a very welcome return for what is left of Extras & crowd favourite Adam Wilson.

Extras & Gladiators slugged it out for the full 80 mminutes, and despite the rain-sodden conditions there were some great displays of good rugby to keep the hardy fans entertained.

Harpenden Squad 56 - Ampthill Extras 21

Despite setting off north up the M1 to travel south to Hertfordshire, Lewis Cooper managed to arrive just before kick-off to give the Extras a squad of 28 to face a strong Harpenden club squad.

With microphoned match officials, a 4g pitch and a gathering crowd, it was a great setting to get back to playing rugby.

Just before Christmas the @AmpthillExtras vs @OlneyRFC encounter ended pointless, yes a nil-nil draw after both teams slugged it out for eighty minutes on a windy day in Northamptonshire.

Nobody wanted to see that again. It certainly wasn't to go down as a one of the Extras' blockbusters classics for those involved or watching.

20200208 Ampthill Extras vs Oundle 2nd XV

Oundle turned up to Dillingham Park with just 13 players so the Extras had to take to the field with just 14.

Despite being two players down, the 13 players of Oundle made up for this deficit with spirit. Within a few minutes, the visitors had broken the Extras defence and took the lead.
