As featured in The Times: “The heart and soul of rugby lives here.”
For more than a decade, the Old Northamptonians 3rd XV fought, laughed, stumbled and triumphed their way through the heart of Northampton rugby. What began as a scratch side on the brink of collapse became a team that defined a club—and a community.
In this warm and often hilarious memoir, Stuart MacDonald charts the unlikely rise of the self-proclaimed best 3rd XV in the UK. From chaotic away days and lastminute callups to league titles, unforgettable characters and the quiet heroism of simply turning up, this is grassroots rugby in all its messy, brilliant glory.
Set against the backdrop of Billing Road and shaped by the legacy of those who came before, There Will Always Be Saturday captures what rugby truly means: resilience, belonging and the unbreakable bond of a Saturday.
A story of leadership, loyalty and the team that refused to disappear—and the people who made it unforgettable.
