President Wolves Captain Wilmslow 18 - 15 Bolton Wilmslow RUFC Nigel Day Mike Black Wilmslow enjoyed sufficient possession of the ball and territory to have won this game several times over. That they had to Kings Road Immediate Past President and Vice Captains settle for a meagre three point margin was more a testimony to the obdurate and tenacious defence put up by Bolton than to Wilmslow Hon. Club Chairman Ben Day and Bob MacCallum the Wolves own shortcomings. In the end two tries from the outstanding New Zealander Vili Tuipulotu and three kicks, two SK9 5PZ Jon Hitch Wolves Team Manager penalties and a conversion, from Lawrence James proved to be just enough. Hon. Secretary Mike Blackett Rob Milner Bolton, battling to get out of the bottom three in the table, played as though this was their last stand. Their defence was Tel : 01625 522274 Vikings Captain organised and committed. Their forwards frequently counter rucked aggressively to disrupt ball on the Wilmslow side and if Hon. Treasurer Matt Pearson some of their play with hands in the ruck and tackle appeared illegal, it was generally to the satisfaction of the referee, pitchero.com/clubs/wilmslow Tony Kersh Vikings Team Manager Matthew Riley, and that’s what mattered. In open play, they kept a good defensive line and always got men across when the Bryn Lewis prolific Wolves backs tried to run. It must have been like running into a swarm. Even right at the end when Wolves winger Hawks Captain Harry Patch looked as though he had to score, Bolton got three men across to haul him down. They had their moments of Tom Sneesby good fortune too, when James seemed to be going clear midway through the second half but was unintentionally and unseen Hawks Team Manager by the referee tripped. With so much of the play in their half of the field, they didn’t get many chances to attack but they still James Senior managed two tries on the counter and briefly led for a few minutes in the second half. Strictly, of course, it wasn’t Bolton’s Head Coach last chance to avoid dropping down a league but they have to now win at least one of their last two home games, probably Magazine Editor and Club Press Officer : David Pike Rick Jones both of them, and then hope that results elsewhere go their way.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    OLD NORTHAMPTONIANS RUGBY UNION FOOTBALL CLUB FOUNDED 1923 OLD NORTHAMPTONIANS LEAD PARTNER SPONSOR: GROUND ENTRY FREE – PROGRAMME BY DONATION ONRFC Programme Sponsors: -------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Old Northamptonians RFC 2019 / 2020 I would like to welcome all the players & supporters of West Bridgford, our opposition today, for what I’m certain will be another hard-fought game at Billing Road. Last season the ONs were victorious both home & away against our visitors, but recent results would suggest the ONs will have to play up to their strengths to maintain or improve on their current 5th place slot. West Bridgford are currently lying just one place below & with a game in hand so it’s definitely game on! Having had a few issues recently against large (Leicester) packs I’m sure the 1st team coaching team & squad will be working hard during the week to improve this area of the game in order to release a back line that can match any in the league. Today’s referee is Gareth Langley, Central Federation, let’s hope he encourages a more flowing game than last week at Wyggs! We also welcome Nuneaton U18s to Billing Road for a friendly against the ONs Academy. I had the good fortune to watch our U18s in the National Cup last week against Syston - one of Leicestershire’s finest - the 49:5 demolition shows what strength we have coming through & I am sure they will go far in the competition as it enters the National stages. Great work from the Academy coaching team bringing on our next crop of Old Northamptonians into the senior set up.

  • PGRFC Response to the RFU New Competition Proposals
    PGRFC response to the RFU New Competition proposals Executive Summary • The proposed RFU structure addresses many issues, but too much regionalisation risks losing competitive matches and less matches, if Saturday loses the ‘this is the day I play rugby’ tag, risks player retention and would adversely impact on income and hence sustainability. • We suggest an alternative flatter structure with less geographical sub-division and leagues of 14 teams – we believe confining our opposition to Northern counties is appropriate. It meets player concerns on number of matches and travel time, would reduce our cost base whilst maintaining attractive fixtures to support club sustainability. It provides a guaranteed number of 1st XV home games sufficiently early to support planning of adequate match day income generating opportunities and provides a profile that would appeal to a range of club sponsors and ideally a title sponsor for the league. • If this is not feasible, the adoption of the RFU proposed structure is workable although reduced games at level 5 poses a threat to player retention and commercial sustainability. It would be considerably enhanced by the introduction of well policed, mandatory salary cap levels with clear severe sanctions for non-compliance and the adoption of an end of season play-off and League cup competition. • Wage inflation in the community game must be brought under control. If there is no change to the salary cap structure, and clubs are still allowed to opt out of the system it is difficult to see the current wage-inflation issues being managed with the resulting adverse impact on sustainability.
