Whether it be one-off fixtures, round-robin matches or entry into a tournament, or a mix of each, there are many combinations available. Our recommended fixture schedule would start with a round robin match with UI3 RUGBY ON TOUR two local clubs on the Saturday afternoon. We will take care of this on your be- half. This would follow your activities on Saturday morning and allow plenty time to enjoy your hosts hospitality in the early evening, before heading back to base for Dinner. Sunday would then coincide with entry to an existing mini-rugby festival at a club near to your tour base or on the route home. These club-run events are organised for the right reasons and are often of a far greater quality than tour- naments arranged solely for touring teams. The list of tournaments is enormous, however, we have put together a directo- ry of existing Mini Rugby Festivals that we feel will be a fantastic addition to U8 RUGBY ON TOUR! your tour.

  • Playing Rugby for Jordanhill College Rugby Football Club 1958
    Playing Rugby for Jordanhill College Rugby Football Club 1958 - 1966 John Henderson ‘The Boot’ Remembers Playing Rugby for Jordanhill College RFC ‘The Boot’ Remembers When I first matriculated in October 1958 at the Scottish School of Physical Education, Jordanhill, Glasgow to undergo a three year diploma course of training in order to qualify as a teacher of Physical Education, I had no idea that some years later my senior rugby career would turn out to be as creditable as it did. Although I knew then that I was a very accurate and lengthy instep place-kicker of a rugby ball, I was under no illusion that my getting a place in the Jordanhill College Rugby Football Club top squad would be easy, nor did I have any notion then that retaining a first choice spot in the 1st XV for a good number of seasons might possibly occur. However, I was aware of the fact that graduating from College was not the end of the opportunity to play senior rugby for Jordanhill, as former students as players were not only considered eligible, but were also deemed essential in order to maintain a fighting chance for coach Bill Dickinson‟s side to compete at the highest levels possible in Scotland. Thus time was on my side, if only I was patient, and prepared to work hard at the game. But first I had, during my student days, to convince mentors Bill Dickinson and George Orr of my potential, and then, if this was accomplished, to provide consistent proof thereafter of my continuing value as a full back/three-quarter and place kicker in the top side in its annual attempts to win the Scottish Unofficial Club Championship and the Glasgow District Knock-Out Trophy.

  • 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.

Foreword by John Douglas, Chairman of the Adult Competition Review Steering Group 1.1 Over the quarter of a century since competitive league rugby was introduced, much has changed within rugby and in society as a whole. Within rugby, anecdotal and statistical evidence indicates that most clubs field fewer teams now than they once did. The socio-economic environment in which our clubs operate has changed beyond all recognition and the pace of change is likely to continue to increase. With it the requirements of players, supporters and club administrators – in other words, our customers – will also change. Predicting and satisfying those future requirements has been the overriding concern of this review.

  • Edition 10: 20Th September 2013
    Edition 10: 20th September 2013 Rugby World Cup 2015 Lead Up and Legacy Activity The RFU launched the seven strands of its national Lead up and Legacy plan on October 31st 2012. The aim of this is to set out an overall framework against which national resource will be invested in the lead up to RWC 2015 with the aim of increasing interest and participation in the game. Whilst many Clubs, CBs, Schools, Colleges, Universities and other bodies are working hard to develop local projects to meet identified local need these seven strands are areas in which we will invest national resource to create change in Rugby communities across the country. It is hoped that those delivery bodies that have not yet identified their focus will focus in on these areas and take action to improve provision and opportunities against these themes. Six Regional Activation and Legacy Groups are now up and running and are working to add value to the seven strands and to engage partners from outside of the immediate rugby community in supporting the efforts of those within it. Each group is populated by representatives from CBs and from the wider community. Attached as an appendix to this CB update is a brief overview of progress against the seven strands along with listings of clubs/projects etc involved to date – this will be updated for each issue. In addition to the work against the seven strands strong working relationships have been established with England Rugby 2015, the Organising Body for the tournament itself, and an update on relevant areas are also included in the appendix.

  • GRFC Player Profiles
    GRFC player profiles Charles Albert Smith Charles Albert Smith was born in Gloucester on 18th July 1878. "Whacker" Smith was a sturdily built, auburn-haired, left wing who played for Gloucester from 1897 to 1908, making 269 appearances. He was a formidable character - a contemporary assessment said, " Whacker is fairly fast, kicks well, and tackles magnificently, and when near the line is difficult to stop". Defence was his main strength - he was "most resolute whatever conditions face him". These qualities were recognised by the England selectors and in the 1900-01 season he played in 2 trial games – for the Rest of the South v London and the Universities, and for the South v the North. This resulted in his being picked for England on the right wing for the match v Wales at Cardiff on 5th January 1901, with the declared aim "to stop the Welsh backs scoring". Although, the following season, he played again for the Rest of the South v London and the Universities, the appearance at Cardiff proved to be his only international cap. Alan Brinn Alan joined the Kingsholm ranks in 1960 from Hereford RFC, making a remarkable 572 appearances for the 1st XV, a record that may well stand forever within the club's annals. A lock forward who made 3 appearances for England, his debut being made against Wales in 1972, he was a member of the Gloucester team that won the inaugural RFU Knock Out competition in 1972 defeating Moseley RFC by 17-6. After retiring from rugby, Alan became an England Rugby Union Associate national selector and also established a sports outfitting business in Eastgate Street, Gloucester, whilst serving Gloucester RFC in the official capacity as Chairman.
