LUTTERWORTH RFC 1987 to 2011 Seniors LUTTERWORTH RFC 1987 to 2011 Lutterworth celebrated their 125 Anniversary in 1998. The 125th Annual Dinner was held on 23rd October 1998 and was attended by Peter Trunkfield, RFU President, David Swirles, Leicestershire RFU President and the guest speaker was W.J.McBride. The President at the time was Paul Blake (currently our Chairman) and in his comments on the menu he wrote “ 125th – One Year Late. One of the more endearing traits of our club is our innate sense of punctuality and meticulous adherence to dates and anniversaries, Not only do we forget to organize the bus for our away games, but, from reading our history, we are celebrating this anniversary 1 year late. The clubs first recorded match was on Dec 28th 1872. We celebrated our 50th during season 1923/4, our 75th during season 1947/8, our 100th during season 1973/4 and our 125th during season 1998/9. I’m sure that by the end of the evening most of us will not have the mental agility to carry out the arithmetic. However, I have taken counsel with respect to the mathematics from a number of our more cerebral members, including the Robbins and the Johnsons, and they do not see a problem, so let’s just enjoy the evening” We did. The club became Lutterworth RFC Ltd in 2001 when it was registered under the Industrial & Provident Societies Act 1965. This removed the need for club trustees and the potential liabilities they might have incurred. Seniors On the playing side the 125th season was started by a tour to Canada and a game against a Leicestershire Presidents XV The last 25 years have seen the most profound changes in the game in general since the RFU itself was formed on the 26th January 1871. League rugby was introduced in 1987/8, mini & junior rugby at club level has largely taken over from schools as the introduction to the game for most children and the introduction of Ladies Rugby. The commencement of leagues has encouraged clubs at all levels to introduce coaching which has generally improved skills (some would argue that the social side may have suffered ). The period has also seen playing numbers and number of teams fielded rise, peak and then decline. This certainly applies to us and I’m sure most other junior clubs. We now turn our 3 teams regularly which is what we were doing in the 70’s. In season 92/3, 93/4 and 94/5 we were turning out 5 teams every week with and occasional 6th team. League Rugby for Lutterworth began in Leicestershire Div 1 where they finished in 4th place, next season they won the league and were promoted to Leics/East Midlands league. This equates to National level 7 and with one exception ( season 2000/1 saw them relegated to level 8 but they won immediate promotion the following season) they have remained there ever since. During that period the league has been called Leics/East Midlands, Midlands East 2, Midlands East 1, Midlands 3 East South, Midlands 2 East South. The restructuring took place in 1991/2 1995/6, 2000/1 and 2008/9. The 1st XV in 2010/11 was largely made up of players from the Colts teams of the two previous seasons and it is a testament to the work done by the mini & junior sections over the last 25 years that this has been possible. After a first half of the season that produced one win they subsequently had a run of six consecutive wine to give them a respectable 7th position. The 2nd XV have been playing league rugby for a number of season. In the Clonmell Cup (Rugby & District) they reached the final in2003/4 loosing to Daventry. They won the cup in 2006/7 by beating Rugby St.Andrews 41-0 in the final. They won again in 2007/8 beating O.Laurentians 15-3 and again in 2009/10 beating the same club. In league rugby they won promotion to Leics 2 in 2008/9 and the following season were promoted again to Leics Premier Leage. The 3rds have been ever present during the whole period and in 2010/11 finished 3rd in Liecs 4. The club is indebted to many people during the period, in particular the following:- 1st XV Captains from 87/8 have been:- R.Tranter, T.Walker, I.Johnson, I.Bills, K.Liscombe, N.Hutt, D.Johnson, M.Ellis, D.Hall, P.Wilford, C.Gregory, P.Riley and J. Croucher (some serving for more than one season). Presidents during the same period :- M.Ross, M.Willey, E.Garnett, P.Blake, M.Entwistle, C.Payne and M.Holmes. Treasurers:- P.Blake, E.Barker, J.Spurrier and M.Willey from 1992/3 to date Secretary : C.Hudson Colts Colts fortunes have varied over the years from variations in teams at Junior levels into the early 90’s as it often wasn’t possible to field a colts team. Season 1995/6 saw them reach the semi-final of the County Cup. In 1999/2000 they reached the final but lost to Market Bosworth. In 2008/9 they got to the quarter finals of the National Cup and won 22 of 29 matches played. In 2009/10 they drew with Syston in the County Cup with a score of 15-15, also reached round 3 in the National Plate and finished 4th in the County Colts league A Minis Section For most of the period we have been able to turn teams out at U8,U9,U10,U11,U12 and latterly also at U7. Secretarys during the period have been M.Willey, E.Barker, M.Perks, D.Adams. A.Glanville, P.Littlewood, Harriet Harman, S.Leah, P.Hooseman, D.Randall and Helen Scutt. There is a continual record of success during the whole period. In 1987.88 the U10 won the county festival. In 1990/91 and 1991/2 the U8s, U10s and U11s all won festivals in 1992/3 the U12s went all season unbeaten. In 1993/4 there was an U7 team for the first time. In 1999/2000 the U9 won the County Festival and were unbeaten all season. In 2001/2 the U10s and U11s were county champions. In 2002/3 there were 117 registered players in the section and the U12s were county champions for the fourth year running. In 2003/4 the U8s toured to the Netherlands. The following season there were 124 players. In 2005/6 the U11s were county champions. In 2007/8 both U12s and U13s were county cup winners. In 2008/9 the U7s won the county festival nd the U9s won two festivals and The Tigers Prima Cup. Juniors Section This section struggled in terms of numbers through into the 90’s. There was no U17 until 93/94. In 1994/5 U13 reached county final, U14 had only three losses all season and had 6 in the county squad, U15 were stand alone after being with Westleigh but made it through to county semi final, U16 joined with Sth Leicester to make a team. 1995/6 the U15 were tournament winners but other teams did well.1996/7 the U16 were county finalists and U13 plate winners.

    The Mini & Youth Rugby Blueprint Roadshow October – December 2013 Feedback Report Summary The Mini & Youth Rugby Blueprint Roadshow took place between October and December 2013. The roadshow visited 27 venues around the country and was attended by more than 500 people. The purpose of the roadshow was to give all rugby stakeholders a chance to share their views on how we shape the mini, junior and youth game in the lead up to Rugby World Cup 2015. In recent years a great deal of work has gone into considering how the game is played, delivered and organised for young people up to the age of 18. The Age Grade Competition Review has been in process for a couple of years, working on producing a recommended competition and playing framework across clubs, schools and colleges. The aim of the blueprint roadshow was to share recent evidence from players highlighting why they play and why they might have stopped playing and to research the views of stakeholders on the best way forward for the game. The challenge is to provide a game format, playing opportunities and support based on the needs and wants of young people. By getting this balance right we aim to ensure that more young people start, remain and choose a lifelong friendship with rugby union, strengthening our clubs and growing the game in the communities around them. Roadshow Format and Method At each roadshow event, the audience was given an opportunity to consider feedback from players aged 7 – 18 about why they play rugby union (and sport in general) and the reasons why they stop playing.

  • Club History
    Club History Inception: the 1950s and 1960s In 1956 a group of 15-year-old school leavers from Players School and Cottesmore School had nowhere to play so they formed their own club. Nottingham Moderns RFC was formed. The early matches were played on rented pitches around the city. With the help of old school masters and the youth service, steady progress was made. However, financing the new club was a problem. On most occasions the players would make their way to away matches by public transport, resulting in all day adventures to various parts of the East Midlands. A good relationship was formed with the local colleges and sports teachers, and with the Welsh Exiles. This led to a period of rapid growth that resulted in sustained fixtures with more established local sides and also games against the 2nd XV teams from the Midlands senior teams.[3] Settling down: The 1970s The year 1975 was momentous in the history of the club. The club finally secured a home at Wilford where they remain today. In the same year they became the first club from Nottinghamshire to win the Three Counties Cup (Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire & Lincolnshire). The 1st XV also reached the semi-final of the Midlands Clubs Championship. The most successful season in the club's history was probably 1974–75, with the 1st XV, 2nd XV, and 3rd XV losing just three games each all season.The 1st XV and 2nd XV also won the respective County Cup competitions. All of this was accomplished as a nomadic club, with no fixed home, playing on rented parks pitches, and drinking in numerous local public houses to entertain their opposition.

  • NEWARK RUGBY UNION FOOTBALL CLUB the First Seventy Five Years
    NEWARK RUGBY UNION FOOTBALL CLUB The First Seventy Five Years A.J.COLEMAN Foreword. The first mention of Rugby in the Newark area is a paragraph in a book, Football the Rugby Union Game, published in 1891. This states that the Hull Club, formed in 1865, played a type of Rugby and amongst its opponents were Newark, whom they played four times a year. A search through the Newark Advertisers and Heralds of that time and an investigation by the R.F.U. cannot offer any information, but one possibility is that there may have been a Military Unit stationed in the area who played this handling game. Dr. Ernest Ringrose, a Rugby fanatic arrived at Newark in the 1880's. The "little" doctor as he was affectionately known, a talented player with Old Merchant Taylors Club soon tried to enthuse the people of Newark into the game of Rugby Football. On December 19th 1891, a challenge match took place on the Sconce Hills between a team from Newark and a team from Nottingham. The Newark team was composed from the people of Newark to "this side of Bingham". This match is assumed to be the first to be played in Newark although a press caption of several issues prior to the event states "that Newarkers do not often enjoy the chance of seeing Rugby Football" giving further claim that there had been a Military Unit playing a type of Rugby Football. The match details which were reported in both the local Newspapers (although they could not agree on the score) and allowing a little poetic licence went as follows: "Newark Rugby lads are a hardy lot for this game they played alongside a group of iceskaters.
