Three England players will return to Bicester on Sunday to celebrate a double anniversary at their former rugby club.

World Cup winning scrum half Andy Gomarsall, back-row forward James Forrester and former England under 21 back Jon Goodridge will help Bicester celebrate their 60th anniversary season.

All three started their rugby careers with Bicester’s mini and junior section, which was founded in 1983-84 with the help of Andy Gomarsall’s dad Jack.

Goodridge and Forrester will play in a sevens tournament on Sunday afternoon part of a family fun day at the Oxford Road ground.

Gomarsall will be coaching from the sidelines, as he saves his energy for the Guinness Premiership play-offs with his club Harlequins.

Their star-studded team also includes Gloucester and England wing James Simpson-Daniel.

The day will also feature a presidents’ lunch for old boys and club members, awards for Bicester’s 500-strong mini and junior section, a barbecue and a bouncy castle.

Club chairman Chris Baldwin said: “For 60 years rugby has been at the heart of Bicester town and being able to celebrate this alongside the juniors’ 25th party is highly significant.

“We run the club as a single unit and this weekend is really a mass appreciation for everyone who plays or has ever played rugby at this mighty club.”
