  • Annual Report 2017 -2018
    LANCASHIRE COUNTY RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION ANNUAL REPORT 2017-18 THE SECRETARY’S OPENING REMARKS Firstly I have to thank the President, Steve Blackburn. Steve has done tremendous work over the year in travelling around clubs and representing the County. A truly approachable gentleman who has brought his own distinct sense of humour to the office. A lot of my Monday mornings have included a phone call from Steve starting with the phrase “I think I may have got away with it but……”. Needless to say the tales have me in stitches. As well as his Presidential duties he is an active member of the Disciplinary and Club & Community Committees which means he’s constantly on the go with his County missionary work. Steve has the huge support of his wife Val, who is also involved on the Mini & Junior committee. A couple entrenched in rugby and its administration, thank you both. To Rugby matters, Our Senior XV have reached the final and other reports in this booklet will cover how they got there, at the time of printing we are in the run up to the final at Twickenham against Hertfordshire whom we were runners up to in the final of the 2011-2012 season. Thanks to Mark Nelson, Steve Rigby, John Greenwood and all the backroom team, along with players who give up their time at the end of very busy seasons to support senior Rugby in Lancashire. Its an absolute joy to be involved in this side of County rugby and one which I look forward to each season.

  • Mbe for Maggie Active Rugby
    August 2012 Issue 148 The Official Newspaper of The RFU and RFUW BEAUMONT MBE FOR MAGGIE Julia Hutton BECOMES England Women’s flanker Margaret Alphonsi was recently honoured with an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list. One of the most well-known names in women’s rugby, with RFU her barnstorming performances during the 2010 Rugby World Cup earning her fans all around the world, the 28 year old was honoured for her services to rugby. CHAIRMAN Making her debut as a 19 year old against the USA in 2003, Alphonsi now has an impressive 63 caps and has played in two XVs Rugby World Cups (2006 & 2010) where England finished second to New Zealand on both occasions. She also featured in the inaugural 2009 Rugby World Cup Sevens, where England lifted the Plate. Most recently, Alphonsi was part of the England team that defeated the world champions New Zealand in an historic three-Test series last autumn, as well as helping England to a record-breaking seventh consecutive Six Nations title, and a sixth Grand Slam in seven years. England also became the first team in Six Nations history not to concede a try in that tournament. “I’m so pleased to have been given this great honour by HRH, the Queen,” said Alphonsi. “What makes it so special is that it doesn’t just recognise my own personal achievements but that of the England team – I wouldn’t have received this had it not been for the hard work and dedication of the RFU and my England teammates.

  • Annual Report 2016
    LANCASHIRE COUNTY RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 THE SECRETARY’S OPENING REMARKS As ever my first task in my report is to thank the outgoing president, Tom Fitzgerald. I have worked closely with Tom for many years and have only the highest respect for him and the professionalism he conducts County business with. Tom has been the cornerstone of the day to day running of rugby in this County and has been instrumental in the formulation of new initiatives that have put us in a position where a lot of our work is seen as best practice. These include our Academy, Coach mentoring schemes and training conferences. With his close contacts and networks he has managed to secure some great players and leaders to deliver these schemes. Having spoken to Tom I know how much over and above his regular volunteering work the office of President involves, with over 150 club visits and official engagements with many thousands of miles covered. Tom is greatly supported by his wife Angela, both of whom I consider tireless supporters of this County and I am extremely pleased to class them as the closest of personal friends. To Rugby matters, Our Senior XV have reached the final and other reports in this booklet will cover how they got there, at the time of printing we are in the run up to the final at Twickenham against Cornwall whom we expect to be strong with very vocal support. Thanks to Mark Nelson, Steve Rigby, John Greenwood and all the backroom team, along with players who give up their time at the end of very busy seasons to support senior Rugby in Lancashire.

  • Lancashire County Rugby Football Union Annual Report 2015-16
    LANCASHIRE COUNTY RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION ANNUAL REPORT 2015-16 THE SECRETARY’S OPENING REMARKS As always in these opening remarks my first and most enjoyable job is to thank our President, Tim Stirk. Tim has done a great job this season and has represented the office of President and the County extremely well. Having sat through many meetings with Tim he never fails to mention how much he has been enjoying his year as President and will recount the pleasure he has gained from getting out in to our clubs. He has tried to ensure that he attended as many finals days, tournaments and club matches as possible and has been frustrated at times that the weather has got in his way this season. People have found, like I did, the enjoyment of speaking with Tim before or after a game and getting his informed views on the match as a whole and playing individuals. Tim was a member of the RFU Council for many years as the Representative of the Schools Union and went on to become President of the ERFSU, a tireless grafter for Rugby through his whole life I thank him for what he has given to Lancashire. We should be grateful that 40 years ago this incomer from Durham chose our County to teach in and has never left. Being Chairman of Governance, Tim is also still involved in the day to day business of the County and his attention to detail has ensured our rules and regulations are kept fit for purpose. Tim’s Exeter, the power behind the throne, is his lovely wife Alison who many in the County will have met this season.

  • 9 Lancashire U18's Selected for North Trial
    9 Lancashire U18s selected for North Trial Congratulations to the following players who have been invited to trial for selection for the North of England on Wednesday 28th December at Woodhouse Grove School Callum Bolton, Myerscough College & Eccles RUFC Jack Granby, Runshaw College & Tarleton RUFC Joe Hunt, Myerscough College Connor Johnson, Myerscough College & Blackburn RUFC Henry Pearson, Kirkham Grammar School & Fylde RUFC Tom Shorrock, Merchant Taylors, Crosby & Waterloo RUFC Sam Stott, Lancaster Royal Grammar School & Vale of Lune RUFC Morgan Sword, Ermysted’s Grammar School & Wharfedale RUFC Wade Williams, Sedbergh School & Waterloo RUFC Following a trial at U17 level in February, followed by three County development games in the Spring, the U18 squad played three North Division selection games against Northumberland Cheshire and Yorkshire in October and November, at which 8 – 12 North Division selectors were in attendance at each game. Despite Lancashire U18s losing all three games, this comprehensive process enabled these players to show their capabilities and register among the elite 45 or so players from across the 6 counties that comprise North Division, who will attend a further skills assessment and trial at the end of the month. A squad of 23-25 players will then be selected to play against other divisions in the New Year, with the ultimate reward being selection for England Counties U18s, who will play Ireland and France at Easter. In the past four years Lancashire have been represented at England Counties U18 level by at least three players, and we would like to think this trend will continue in 2017. We wish all 9 young Lancastrians the very best of luck and look forward to hearing further good news early in the New Year.
