“THIS IS FOR THE WHOLE BAHRAIN RFC COMMUNITY” – JOSH DRAIN REFLECTS ON LANDMARK SEASON AHEAD OF HISTORIC WEEKEND

Middle East

A season of determination, unity and top-class performance has brought Bahrain RFC to the brink of history.

This weekend, the teams will take centre stage in regional rugby as both their 1st XV and 2nd XV teams compete in finals, with a shot at making club history by lifting two major trophies on the same day.

After a dramatic 29-21 semi-final victory over Abu Dhabi Harlequins, the 1st XV have earned their place in the West Asia Super Rugby final.

They’ll be joined in the spotlight by the 2nd XV, who have reached the Super 2s Cup final after beating Dubai Exiles 30-22.

As the official kit supplier, Kukri Sports is proud to have supported the teams throughout their campaign, providing performance-driven kit built for the demands of rugby and other sports at the club.

Kukri ambassador and first XV star Josh Drain, who has featured at both fly-half and full-back this season, knows just how much this means to everyone involved.

“It’s very exciting. Reaching the final is a huge achievement, not just for us as players, but for the whole Bahrain RFC community.”

The squad’s journey to this point has been powered by a strong collective spirit and relentless preparation, having won all twelve of their games so far this season as they head into the final against Dubai Hurricanes.

“We’ve built a really tight-knit group that fights for each other and stays together under pressure.

“We’ve had to overcome a few challenges – injuries, tough fixtures, long away days – but the way the boys have stepped up and delivered every time says a lot about the character of this squad.

“The coaches and support staff have also been outstanding in preparing us week in, week out,” Drain said.

For Drain, a key player in the team, it’s also been a season of personal growth as he continues to transition to a different climate.

“It’s been a great experience for me personally. I’ve learned a lot, grown in confidence and had the chance to really challenge myself in some big moments.

“Playing with this group has definitely brought the best out of me.”

Ahead of the final, Drain admitted the group are fully focused on the task ahead and knows what is required of them.

“We know it’s going to be tough, but we’ve prepared well and back ourselves. It’s just about sticking to what we do best and embracing the moment.”

“Finals are often decided by small margins, so we’ll need to be clinical when chances come and stay cool under pressure.

“If we stick to our systems and keep our discipline, we’ll give ourselves every chance.”

Beyond rugby, Bahrain RFC have enjoyed a standout year across multiple sports. The men’s senior football team lifted the Diogo Pires Cup Final trophy, while their netball sides also delivered exceptional results – with the Division 1 and 2 teams both finishing as runners-up, and the Division 3 team claiming the championship title.

Throughout the season, the players have been backed by Kukri as the club’s official kit supplier, whose performance-focused kit has supported the team every step of the way.

“The kit from Kukri has been good all season. It’s built for performance, lightweight, durable and designed to move with you, which really makes a difference during high-intensity games.

“It’s great to be representing a brand that genuinely supports the team,” Drain added.

Kobus Cronje, Middle East Sales Manager at Kukri Sports, said “We’re very proud of what Bahrain RFC has achieved this season, not just in rugby, but across all their sporting teams.

“To see both rugby teams reach their respective finals is a testament to the club’s depth and culture. It’s been a privilege to support them with high-performance kit that matches their ambition, and we’ll be cheering them on as they go for a historic double.”

Looking ahead, Drain believes this season could be the start for even greater things to come.

“The future is really bright for Bahrain RFC. We’ve got a great culture, strong leadership and a growing base of young talent coming through.

“I’d love to see us build on this momentum and keep pushing the standards even higher, both locally and across the region.”

As the club prepares for a potentially historic weekend, the stage is set – and Bahrain RFC is ready to rise to the occasion.

Kukri Sports wishes both teams and its ambassador, Josh Drain, the best of luck ahead of a crucial weekend.

Rachel Malcolm: A Legacy Forged in Lightning

United Kingdom

Sixteen years of dedication, transformation and triumphs – Rachel Malcolm’s journey at Loughborough University, culminating in eight seasons with Lightning Rugby, is a story of passion and perseverance.

As the current Scotland captain prepares for a new chapter, Kukri Sports reflects on her extraordinary career and the enduring partnership that played a key role in her success.

Transitioning from Hockey to Rugby

Rachel’s path into rugby was anything but conventional. A talented hockey player, she represented Scotland at three age-grade levels before a spark ignited within her, drawing her towards rugby.

“I transitioned between the sports around 24-25, and it was a case of everything aligning at the right time,” Rachel recalls.

“My brother was a professional rugby player and his career was taking off at the time, and watching him really inspired me to give it a try.

“I loved playing hockey, but when I tried out rugby I quickly realised it was my sport, not only in terms of playing but also the values and the types of people involved.”

What followed was an incredible rise in the sport, and Rachel credits her success in her star-studded career to Loughborough’s Sport’s programme and the environment that allowed her to flourish.

“Loughborough is one of the best in the world, and that’s why I came here,” Rachel explains. “It’s where I could learn from the best. 

“The opportunity to work with top practitioners, especially in strength and conditioning, allowed me to build those physical and physiological components, which then allowed me the platform to go and achieve in rugby.”

Loughborough: A platform for success

Her time with Lightning Rugby is defined not just by on-field success but by unforgettable moments, both on and off the pitch.

“I think this season gone we’ve had some really good highlights. We built a brilliant culture and environment, achieved special results, beating top four teams like Bristol Bears,” she says.

“For me, the main highlight has been the people I’ve got to meet and play alongside who have become friends for life.”

As Scotland’s captain during the 2020 Six Nations, Rachel faced one of her biggest challenges yet, but it was her time in Lightning’s programme that helped her rise to the occasion.

“The opportunities and experiences they gave me were really important to allow me to go and achieve what is probably the greatest honour in my life which was captaining and leading my country.

“I’m incredibly grateful to our Head Coach during my early years, Reece Edwards, who gave me the platform to learn, as well as Sarah Hunter, one of the best leaders in rugby as I learned so much from her.”

A trusted partner in her remarkable journey

Throughout her remarkable career, a constant presence and support network has been Kukri Sports, Loughborough’s long-standing kit supplier that has provided more than just kit.

“Kukri’s support has been brilliant,” she says. “The kit has been extremely comfortable, which is so important, particularly for women in sport to feel comfortable in what they are wearing.

“Kukri have supported the programme and different teams across the university for a long time, and I think that shows loyalty and represents the values that are very close to home for us rugby players,” she says.

Embracing the future

As Rachel prepares to move forward, she leaves behind a legacy of dedication, resilience and inspiration.

“I feel content with everything I’ve achieved here. It’s been an incredible 16 years, and I’m grateful for the opportunities and the people who have helped me to get to where I am today.”

As a true pioneer of women’s sports and rugby, her advice to aspiring athletes is simple yet profound.

“I think the biggest thing I wish I had realised early on is not to compare yourself to other people,” she explained.

“Everyone’s journey is completely unique. Celebrate your own strengths and focus on what you can bring to the table. It’s essential to enjoy the process and trust in your development.”

Rachel Malcolm’s legacy at Lightning Rugby and Loughborough Sport will continue to inspire future generations of athletes. The partnership with Kukri, which has supported Rachel and countless others on their journeys, serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of loyalty, community, and high-performance support in creating champions—both on the field and beyond.

We are excited about what innovative technologies could present for our students and teams over the next 4 years’ said John Kendal Principal, Tumuaki of Rotorua Boys High

Celebrating Female Athletes on International Women’s Day

World News

In honour of International Women’s Day, Kukri Sports is proud to honour the strength, resilience and determination of female athletes from a variety of sports.

This year, we highlight the inspiring journeys of women who have broken barriers and continue to lead the way for future generations.

Andrea Wing-Yan Leung

Women’s rugby player, Valley RFC Women’s team

Andrea Wing-Yan Leung, a dedicated rugby player for Valley RFC, reflects on her journey in the sport, from playing basketball as a teenager to becoming a Premiership-level winning athlete and a role model for young women in the sport.

“It means honour, cherishment and humility to me to represent my team,” she says.

“I am forever thankful to be able to play sport as a female. However, there are still women out there who may not have a chance to play sports or receive an education.

“For 20 years, my parent’s didn’t support me playing rugby – they saw it as a ‘men’s sport’. But I never gave up. Last season, my dad and brother finally came to watch me play in the Grand Championship final. We won, and I got to show them the trophy.”

Ellie Stevens

North America Running Ambassador

Ellie Stevens, a trailblazer in long-distance running, celebrates the visibility and opportunities that women in endurance sports have gained over recent years.

“International Women’s Day is a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come and how much further we can go in empowering women in sports,” she states.

Despite overcoming barriers such as facing chronic fatigue throughout her career, Ellie has proved that resilience is key. “Your struggles do not define you – your resilience does. No setback is permanent. Believe in yourself, be patient and take it one step at a time.”

Claire Dowey

NI Volleyball Women’s team player

For Claire Dowey, a veteran volleyball player and captain of Northern Ireland’s women’s team, International Women’s Day is about celebrating the growing participation of women in sport.

Claire’s experience as a mother and high-level athlete has been a balancing act, but she finds strength in showing her son the value of hard work.

“I want them to see that you can have the lows that sport sometimes brings and still bounce back. You can have your family and still play on,” Claire says.

“I truly believe I became a better player, especially mentally, after becoming a mum.“

Ahead of competing in the St. Patrick’s Challenge on 15 March, Claire was pleased to see how much the sport has grown. “It has been exciting to see the number of girls now playing volleyball increase over the years.

“We are gradually securing more funding which is what is going to really support our female athletes to enable them to have access to great training, high-quality kit and elite programmes.”

Izzy Songhurst

Trampoline Gymnast, British Gymnastics

Izzy Songhurst, and two-time Ladies British champion who made her Olympic debut at Paris 2024, shares her thoughts on overcoming body stereotypes and embracing her strength as a gymnast.

“I have overcome it by doing a lot of work on my psychology, being confident in my body’s ability to execute what I’m asking it to do which has helped me a lot in my performance,” she explains.

“For me, it was about finding a way and trying to be really confident in myself and to remember that it is always enough.”

Chloe Andrews

Rugby player, Dubai College Women’s team

As a young female rugby player, Chloe Andrews is passionate about making the sport more inclusive for girls of all ages.

“Rugby at first can seem very intimidating, but it’s a game of resilience, teamwork and confidence,” she shares.

“As a young woman, I’ve learned that sport is not just physical strength, but mental strength and the ability to lead.

“I feel incredibly proud to be part of the newly growing women’s rugby community. It motivates me to be a role model for younger girls, showing them that rugby and any sport in general can be played by everyone.”

Jonathan Jones: A Champion’s Journey in Celebration of Black History Month

North America

As Black History Month is recognised across North America this month, we acknowledge and celebrate the journey of Black athletes in the region – those who have broken barriers, redefined excellence and inspired future generations. Kukri Sports, a proud partner of Team Barbados, is honoured to support athletes who embody these values on and off the track.

Among those making an indelible mark is Jonathan Jones, a world-class sprinter from Barbados whose journey epitomizes determination, perseverance and national pride.

A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, Jones has competed at the highest-level, representing Barbados on the world stage. From the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and a bronze medalist in the 400m at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, Jones continues to set records and push boundaries on the track as a Team Barbados athlete.

A Journey of Inspiration and Dedication

Jones’ passion for athletics started during his childhood in Saint Lucy, Barbados, where he participated in various sports.

Watching the 2012 London Olympics ignited a fire within him, with athletes like Kirani James and David Rudisha serving as his role models and playing a crucial role in shaping his love for the 400m and 800m events.

“I was inspired through a series of events in my childhood and adolescent years to embark on my career in athletics,” Jones recalls.

“Watching fellow Caribbean athletes and international athletes compete on the biggest stage was truly inspiring.”

One of the defining moments in his career came in 2014 when he was given the opportunity to represent Barbados.

Despite the honor, he declined, choosing instead to train harder to earn his place.

His commitment paid off when he won silver and bronze medals at the CARIFTA Games in 2015, followed by gold medals in 2016.

“That choice and mindset shaped me as an athlete and person,” Jones reflects. “I always expect to earn my spot and work diligently to make my dreams a reality.”

Representing Barbados on the World Stage

Proudly donning the national colours of Barbados, Jones has embraced his role as an ambassador for his country.

“Whenever I walk around the athlete’s village during a championship, it feels amazing to know that Barbados is being seen and showcased.

“The pinnacle of my joy is standing on the medal podium with my Barbados kit on and our national anthem playing.”

Jones’ drive stems from the dreams of his younger self and his desire to inspire the next generation of Barbadian athletes.

“I continue to do this not just for myself, but for the kids growing up in Barbados. I want to see that if I can do it, they can too.”

Honouring Black History Month

Black History Month holds deep significance for Jones as a time for reflection and appreciation.

“It’s a moment to look back at those who paved the way for us,” he says.

“Coming from an island like Barbados, I have many pioneers and icons to look up to, from sports legends like Sada Williams to national heroes like Bussa.

“It’s about recognizing their sacrifices and using their legacy as motivation to keep pushing forward.”

He also acknowledges the importance of black athletes throughout history in breaking down barriers and standing for social justice.

“We had athletes like Muhammad Ali and Jackie Robinson who fought for equality and paved the way for us to compete freely today.

“Their courage and resilience remind me that sports is not just about competition—it’s about representation, inclusion, and the fight for fairness.”

Inspiring the Next Generation

Jones encourages aspiring athletes to embrace discipline and perseverance. “Work so relentlessly that you can’t be ignored or overlooked,” he advises. “Success isn’t guaranteed, but if you give it everything without holding back, you’ll see the results.”

Beyond competition, Jones believes in the power of sports to drive diversity, inclusion, and social justice. “Sports have always played a role in fighting for equal rights and opportunities,” he says. “Athletes today use their platforms to raise awareness and inspire change, and that’s something I want to be part of.”

As he continues his journey, Jones remains focused on future goals—both on and off the track. “I want to compete happily in my Barbados colours again, improve in the coming years, and stand at the top of the medal podium.”

Jonathan Jones is not only a record-breaking athlete but also a symbol of perseverance and national pride. As we celebrate Black History Month, his journey serves as an inspiration for aspiring athletes and a testament to the power of dedication, resilience, and representation.
