The University of Bath men’s 1^st XV demonstrated why they have been the best team in BUCS Super Rugby this season as they defeated Loughborough 41-14 in the BSR Milk Championship final to complete a historic league and cup double. Image: Co-captain Max Pearce and Head of Rugby Aaron James lift the trophy, credit: BUCS

Forward dominance allied with explosive pace and power from the backs saw Bath score five tries against their old rivals and secure their first-ever national cup success, just a month after they had won the BUCS Super Rugby title for a first time.

It means they are only the second team during BUCS Super Rugby’s 10-year history to complete the league and cup double, and they are the first to finish the season with three trophies having also successfully defended the BSR Challenge Shield seven times on home turf.

RUH Bath Accident & Emergency nurse Sam Meaden is taking on a dizzying running challenge at the Royal United Hospitals Bath this April 26, London Marathon day.

Sam, from Trowbridge, who trained as a nurse at RUH Bath and since qualifying in 2024 works in Accident & Emergency will be running his ‘RUH26’ challenge to raise funds for both the official NHS hospital charity RUHX and Dorothy House hospice who cared for his mother prior to her loss in 2025.

It is a marathon run, and the course is entirely within the RUH Bath grounds.  Twenty-six loops around the perimeter and past the Accident & Emergency department entrance where Sam works and where his colleagues will be cheering him on from.

Sam shared about his challenge: "I’m aiming to raise £2,000 to be split between RUHX, the hospital where I work and Dorothy House Hospice. Very recently, after a short battle with cancer my mum was able to pass very peacefully here. The medical and nursing staff here were fantastic with both mum and her family and friends"

To support Sam in his efforts please visit his fundraising page at justgiving.com/team/ruh26

And to come along and cheer Sam on, head to the RUH Bath, Combe Park, Bath BA1 3NG, on Sunday 26 April from 9.30am – the mass start marathon time in London.
