Aylesford Bulls RFC

Aylesford Bulls RFC roared with pride on Saturday as 1st XV captain Ben Pass ran out for his 200th senior appearance, a milestone that cements his place among the club’s true greats. It’s a journey that began back in 2013, when a young Ben first pulled on the red and blue. By 17, he had already made his senior debut for the 2nd XV, showing the grit, maturity, and leadership that would one day define him.

Fast‑forward to today, and Ben has become the heartbeat of the Bulls. This season alone, he has led the herd to 13 wins from 18 matches, driving standards, inspiring teammates, and setting the tone every time he steps onto the field. His influence stretches far beyond the scoreboard - it’s in the culture, the camaraderie, and the belief that pulses through the squad. Saturday 11th April belonged to him. As the Bulls prepared to face Vigo RFC, valiant opponents who have battled through a tough season of injuries and player shortages, the atmosphere buzzed with anticipation. The hope across the club was simple: that Ben’s landmark day would finish with the victory he so richly deserved.

The celebrations began before kick‑off, with the club honouring Ben in true Bulls style. He was presented with a special 200‑cap shirt, not just for himself but also a matching one for his young son - who proudly joined his dad as he led the team out. It was a moment that captured everything Aylesford Bulls stands for: family, legacy, and the passing of the jersey from one generation to the next. Ben also received a classic glass tankard, perfect for toasting the occasion, along with treasured mementoes of the day - a signed match ball from all senior players and a copy of the match‑day squad to mark the moment in club history.

For supporters wanting to relive the journey, Ben shares more of his Bulls story in an exclusive interview now available on the club’s YouTube channel. It’s a candid, heartfelt look at the highs, the graft, and the pride of reaching 200 caps.
A captain. A leader. A club man through and through.
Congratulations, Ben - here’s to the next chapter.
