With pre-season well underway, the year has started bright for the Bears.

With numbers in training a huge increase from last season, confidence is flowing throughout the team with a lot of options for the first team selection.

However, it’s not just on the pitch that matters for the team, it’s what they do off it that is equally recognised in their success.

With October being Breast Cancer Awareness month, the boys dressed up all things pink for their Wednesday night social event.

In their second social of the year, scrum caps, boots, wrist-tape and gum-shields were swapped out for pink t-shirts, bottoms, socks, bandanas, and even painted nails to brighten up Northampton and spread awareness of the illness.
