Henry had the honour of representing Yorkshire at U15-U18 level and it is a great loss to our rugby family that we have lost one so young. We all should now be getting back into the swing of returning back to our clubs. I know some teams have started training and played some adapted games. As we know, it is also the end of the season and we can continue on with the RFU roadmap in line with Governments’ staged return It is important that during the summer months we engage with our rugby family and prepare for our return to playing rugby next season. Further information regarding financial support will follow in this newsletter. Your districts will also advise of district meetings and events that will be taking place. South Yorkshire district will be holding the value the volunteer evening held over from last year to present last year’s winners with their awards and hopefully get to meet old friends and new. A lot of clubs will be holding summer events, it is important we support our clubs and get back to some kind of normality.

    I Newsletter I Mar 2021 I A bi-monthly update published by the Yorkshire RFU Welcome from Tony McNally - President of the Yorkshire Rugby Football Union Welcome to our latest Newsletter and I hope you are all safe and well At last, we appear to have a light at the end of the tunnel. In line with the Roadmap, we can start our pathway back to playing our beloved game 29 March and hopefully playing by the end of April England Rugby is in process of drawing up plans for the way forward on our return. This will include how the rest of season will pan out and how far we can continue playing through the spring and summer months. Unfortunately, all league rugby, age grade and county rugby will be lost. We were trying to put together a Tri county tournament with Lancashire and Cheshire but this also has not materialised. The Academy has been training through and we are hopeful that they should be able to start their programme of games when given the green light. It is anticipated that you should be able to open your clubs up in May to enjoy the feeling of being part of the rugby family as before. Moving forward will be difficult and strange and we will need all the support of our volunteers that help us play our game. It will be important to re-engage everyone involved with your club especially the players who, after 12 months away, might need some additional encouragement. We, at the Yorkshire RFU, will help in any way we can to assist with the restart.

  • Lancashire County Rugby Football Union Annual
    LANCASHIRE COUNTY RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION ANNUAL REPORT 2014-15 THE SECRETARY’S OPENING REMARKS As always in these opening remarks my first job is to thank our President, David Matthews. David has done a great job this season and has represented the office of President and the County extremely well. An International referee, David brings an air of authoritative calm with him. The office of President is not an easy ride of club dinners and hospitality, it involves a lot of time consuming hard work and those privileged to hold the post need to have dedication. This is what David has shown he has heaps of. He has attended as many finals days as he has been able from Minis and Schools all the way through to seniors, always making time to speak to participants and supporters alike. He has watched rugby at all levels, at clubs all around the County and at Board Meetings enthuses about the welcome he has received at all of them. This season he has been the eyes and ears of the Management Team as he has been closest to grassroots rugby and has been able to feedback questions and concerns about the direction of rugby. His determination and bravery through his illness should be an inspiration to us all. Those who have been lucky enough to hear David speak at club dinners and awards evenings will have heard many unique and humorous tales of his days as a referee. I am sure he has many more and I for one look forward to hearing them in the future.
