A lot has happened since my last programme piece, including most of the World Cup which brought many of you up to the Crofts to watch the live games. What a roller coaster of emotions the tournament provided, culminating in a semi-final display that was truly breath-taking. Enough said. On the playing front closer to home, results have been frustrating for the 1st XV with two narrow losses by three points. We took a heavy defeat from Rugby St Andrews but bounced back in the Stoke Old Boys game. It has been gratifying to see us field three senior teams recently including the 3rds/Vets team playing against the invitation R4H side. Our Womens’ side had two games lately with honours even across the pair, see match report, and our unstoppable Colts are through to the next round of the cup. We also have seven representatives in the Warwickshire U18 side: Lewis Mellor, Morgan Fox, James Crabtree, Ed Righton, Archie Semple, Sam Bayliss and Alex Evans. Well done lads, we know you will represent the club with distinction. Sadly our annual Firework display was cancelled due to the weather, which was great disappointment. Of course the unexpected collapse of the Wasps ground sharing was also devastating and I would like to thank everyone who worked so hard in putting together the plans and legal aspects in the run up, as well as all other of phases such a huge undertaking. Of course our connection will continue as part of their local community liaison and we wish them from well in Henley. the Good luck to all players representing the club this weekend, including the Ladies who are away to Drybrook heart tomorrow Let’s hope for warmish weather and softish ground as we look forward to a great game of rugby today. Please respect the players and officials and enjoy the afternoon in the usual OL’s tradition. See you in the bar after.

  • Shipston-On-Stour
    RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION APPEAL HEARING At: Puckrup Hotel, Tewksbury On: 12 June 2019 JUDGMENT Club: Shipston on Stour Panel: Mr John Brennan (Chairman), Mr Nick Dark and Mr John Vale. Secretary: Rebecca Morgan Attendance: Mr Dan Scobie, Chairman of Shipston on Stour. Mr Roger Rees, Secretary Midland Division Organising Committee Regarding: Appeal against a level transfer at level 7 from the Midlands 3 West (South) league to the South West Southern Counties (North) league in the 2019-2020 season. 1. Shipston on Stour RFC (“the Club”) were the league champions of the Midlands 3 West (South) league in the 2018-2019 season. 2. The Club expected to play at level 7 in the Midlands 2 West (South) league in the 2019-2020 season. 3. In the event, the Club were subjected to a level transfer to the South West Southern Counties (North) league. The prospect fills the Club with dread. One can well understand why. Only one away fixture involves a round trip of less than an hour. Two involve a round trip of almost two hours. Eight involve a round trip of around three hours or more. The prospect is so grim that the Club considers the better course would be to withdraw from competitive league matches before the start of next season so as to avoid the disruption that would follow if it were to fail to honour all their fixtures; a prospect which the Club Chairman considered to be unavoidable. Their playing members, all of whom are amateur and many of whom work on Saturdays, would prefer to play for another club or not at all than spend so long on the road in the 2019-2020 season.

The study updates the existing strategy (2006), which identified a series of issues and priorities, including the need to address shortfalls in the amount of junior and mini football pitches, provide a new artificial surface for hockey and support the qualitative improvement of sites across the district. Between 2006 and 2011 there have been many changes, including investment into new and improved facilities, increased use of school sites and changing requirements for different sports. Lichfield DC and its delivery partners aspire to maintain and build participation in sport and physical recreation and ensure that residents in all parts of the district have sustainable and equitable access to appropriate facilities. To achieve this goal, ongoing monitoring and updates of the Playing Pitch Strategy to reflect changing priorities are therefore of paramount importance. Furthermore, as the strategic and policy context for sport and recreation provision continues to evolve, and new sports are introduced to drive participation increases, investment is under close scrutiny and there is significant pressure to achieve more and better services with fewer resources.
