Newbury U14s returned to the scene of a former triumph when they competed at the Reading Festival. As U13s, the A squad won the tournament in 2015. A year later, the team, continuing their strong start to the season, played some excellent rugby to match their previous success, recording wins over Reading Abbey (10-0), Basingstoke (10-5) and Trojans (20-0) and drawing with Redingensians (5-5).
