The Inter Service Championship will be taking over one of the best rugby venues in the UK this Easter, with the Senior Men and Senior Women from the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force going head-to-head.

The Senior Women will kick off the day at 1pm, with the Senior Men playing at 4pm.

Cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens is a stadium with an award-winning groundstaff, the home of Northampton Saints, who earned a reputation for playing the most attacking rugby in the league on the way to winning the 2024 Premiership title.

Northampton Saints RFC has a long relationship with the UK Armed Forces. A signee of the Armed Forces Covenant in 2017, Northampton Saints was also home to Edgar Mobbs, a legend of English rugby who won the DSO in the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917. The Mobbs Memorial Match played in his honour is one of the longest-standing such fixtures in rugby, and over the years has featured the Barbarians, East Midlands, Northampton Saints, Bedford Blues and the British Army.

Furthermore, each year the Club and its supporters donate thousands of pounds to military charities such as the Royal British Legion and Army Benevolent Fund.
