STUBS guests from Headley Court and the Household Cavalry enjoyed a hard fought match yesterday, when Quins slugged it out with Worcester to gain a 16-14 victory. Quins are now seven points clear at the top of the table and on course for a home semi-final in the AVIVA premiership. We just have to hope that Leicester do us a favour this afternoon and defeat saracens away. Fingers crossed!!

| 18th March 2010. Geech
becomes STUBS Patron. Sir Ian McGeechan OBE has agreed to become Patron
of STUBS with immediate effect. On taking up his appointment,
Sir
Ian said:
“I am honoured to have been asked to become Patron for such a worthwhile
cause. Our servicemen and women deserve our utmost respect and gratitude
for putting their lives on the line to defend us. I have been to a
number of fantastic STUBS events and met some true heroes who have
served on the front line. It is a humbling experience to talk to those
individuals who have suffered life changing injuries and often lost
comrades as well. I hope that by becoming a Patron, I can encourage
others to play a part in giving something back to those brave men and
women who serve Queen and country so selflessly.”
We're all absolutely delighted to welcome one of the kindest and most
respected men in rugby onboard as our Patron, and we look forward to
working with him and his wife Judy in the future.
