As I write this, surrounded by Christmas decorations and full of mince pies, the thermometer is nudging 14 degrees and my lawn needs cutting. The weather has been kind to us with the fixture list uninterrupted. A word of thanks to John Gregory and all involved in the Jack Marshall Honours Table. Graham Walker This paints a picture of Herts Rugby across the piste, and it looks well. Hertfordshire RFU President O.A’s, Tring and Watford lead the pack, with seventeen of our twenty seven clubs having a 50% or better win percentage. Underpinning that, is a sense of optimism, with many clubs fielding at least three sides. Running clubs remains a sense of duty, but the friendships made last a lifetime and are invaluable. Chris Rainbow and his team are already plotting the campaign for our county championship assault. We have two home games, Kent, Cornwall and an away fixture to Gloucester. Our squad are capable of competing with the best. Please come and give them support. Let’s show Cornwall they do not monopolise pride in their county side. Whilst the Rugby World Cup went the way of the southern hemisphere, it was a great spectacle. Equally it was a profit spinner, The RFU are committed to sending a significant share of that to community rugby. Your county committee will ensure any opportunities are made known. Good luck for the rest of the season. Remember, 1st XV league results, whilst important, are only one measure of success.

Huge thanks go to all my Colleagues on the Herts RFU Executive Committee and the 100+ County Volunteers who contribute so much of their time to help run all areas of rugby throughout Hertfordshire. I also take this opportunity to thank, yet again, Bob Weston and Stuart Thomas of Weston Homes plc for their continued & most generous support. Richard Milnes Hertfordshire RFU Chairman Rugby throughout our “small” County is in rude health … witness the two recent excellent Finals of our Hertfordshire Schools’ Competitions (U14’s & U18’s) which took place on 9 December under lights over at Hertford RFC with Haileybury College running out U18’s winners against St Albans and Hitchin taking the U14’s honours against Verulam. Huge thanks go to Harry Harrison for, once again, organising such an excellent competition. These Finals were closely followed by The Returning Students’ Festival which took place on 21 December under lights over at Old Albanian RFC with ten Teams competing. An absolutely fabulous evening of excellent entertaining running rugby organised by Tom Mowbray with Old Albanian Returning Students just pipping Harpenden Returning Students in the Final. A number of our Club sides are faring very well this term with Bishop’s Stortford & Old Albanian in the top three of National 2 South, Hertford lying fifth in National 3 London & SE, Tring 3rd & Letchworth 8th in London 1, and in London 2 NW Fullerians are currently 2nd with Harpenden 5th & Welwyn in 6th place with, hopefully, Tabard about to turn their season around & move up the table to safety. In London 3 NW Datchworth, Hitchin, Hemel Hempstead, St Albans & Stevenage are all in the mix and in Herts/Mddx 1 Cheshunt lead the way in 3rd place with Verulamians, Barnet Elizabethans & Royston all pushing hard. Watford currently hold 3rd place in Herts/Mddx 2 with Chess Valley only five places below. And in the Herts/Mddx Merit Tables it’s good to see The Mount, Berkhamsted, Hatfield, Weston, Black Horse, Old Ashmoleans and Cuffley all competing in their respective Leagues. Wishing all Clubs, Players, Coaches, Managers, Physios, Volunteers & Supporters all the very best for the rest of the season. The Senior County Cups are under way and another exhilarating Finals’ day out at Allianz Park on 1 May is eagerly awaited. The Hertfordshire County Youth Finals take place a week before, on Sunday 24 April, at Old Albanian RFC with the first of the Finals kicking-off at 11:00am. Please mark your diaries. Both events are very well worth attending ! With your diaries already beside you, please also ensure you have the following events firmly written in : County Members’ Annual Dinner Wednesday 2 March, AGM Monday 20 June, Herts RFU Golf Day Friday 8 July. Although our Senior RFU County Championship side came up just short against the eventual 2015 RFU County Championship Winners, Cornwall, down in Redruth last May, based on our current County Club sides’ performances, we have high hopes, once again, that our “small” County can make it all the way to Twickenham this coming 29th May Looking forward to supporting more exciting rugby being played throughout the County & to meeting friends old & new. Richard Milnes Chairman 1 7766 SIX MONTHS IN THE LIFE OF A NEW COUNTY SECRETARY I thought it would be good to write what I had been doing (county rugby wise) since becoming secretary of Hertfordshire RFU. On 22nd June 2015 I was voted in the position of County Secretary at the A.G.M. It has been a steep Adrian Sparks learning curve. Honorary Secretary Firstly I never knew there were so many acronyms to learn. To name a few G.M.S., R.D.O., P.F.R., R.W.C., P.R.L. Y.D.O. etc. etc. There was an assumption by various people from the R.F.U. downwards that one knew what all these acronyms referred to and how, therefore, what these different areas of the game were responsible for and hence how the whole thing fitted together. How wrong they are. Since I began we have to date had four executive meeting and one forum meeting. For each of these there are agendas to prepare, documents to gather from various sources and send out and minutes to write. There have been a number of official letters I have had to write on behalf of Hertfordshire, most of which have been of congratulations to individuals and clubs on a variety of achievements. Another key role is that of ”postman”. Nearly all correspondence form the RFU downwards comes through me and needs reading and sieving through and directing to the right people with in Hertfordshire. This postman role also means that I am copied in on a wide range of communications going on between various areas of the county rugby. This does help me to build an overall picture of the game in Hertfordshire which I believe is in a healthy state. As some will know I also have conducted a survey regarding the Forum meetings. This was after concern was shown with various parts of the county as to the effectiveness of the Forum as a method of communication with in the county. After looking at the results of a county wide survey one must conclude that how Forum representatives report back to their clubs the information given at a forum varies enormously from club to club and therefore who actually receives this feedback with in a club. This then lead to questions on how much was being reported back to clubs. I can’t emphasis enough the importance of the Forum. It is a major part of the communication structure of the game from grass roots up to Twickenham and Vica Versa. It is one of the major tools your county representatives have of gaining the clubs views and responding on your behalf, to a wide variety of issues with in the game. Some of the things I am going to do in early 2016 apart from the continuation of duties set out above, is to look at the articles of governance (Constitution) and see if they are still fit for purpose. That is to say do they reflect the way in which the county is being governed? I don’t think this will lead to any major review but is an opportunity for someone fresh to just check them over as valid for 2016. I also hope to try and get round the clubs more. I think most people know me from the time I spent as Disciplinary Secretary but it will be good for me to see first-hand what is going on in clubs.

Welcome to Silver Leys for our final home game before Christmas and of course 2016. I would especially like to welcome the Players, Officials and Supporters of Exmouth RFC. Everyone lucky enough to be here for our last home match against league leaders Chinnor will agree that they witnessed a compelling game. Even better it resulted in us registering a five point win over our rivals whilst restricting them to just the one try bonus point. Whilst the outcome of the match was never going to have a decisive impact on either team’s future. Our victory certainly made things a lot tighter at the top and sent the majority of those present, home with a smile on their face. I did say that a vocal crowd would make all the difference and so it proved. In the process we also discovered that we have some very capable ‘Banter-mime villains’ in our midst –Boo-Hiss!! Last Saturday at Redingensians was just as exciting. We managed to snatch a bonus point victory from half-way down the throat of defeat.

  • 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.

All of this newsletter is devoted to CoronaVirus – Covid19 and what we in the Hertfordshire R.F.U. are doing in response to the R.F.U. closure of the game from 17th March 2020 to 14th April 2020 and then the subsequent announcement today (20th March 2020) from Bill Sweeney announcing the end of the 2019/20 rugby season for all league, cup and county rugby in England. Firstly let me say that Hertfordshire R.F.U. wish all of you good health in these trying times. In making decisions on Hertfordshire Rugby the paramount importance is the individual and their health and safety. Anyway over the next few days your club will be contact by your Hertfordshire R.F.U.

They will collect information about you worries and concerns and feed them back to Simon Embleton (Secretary), David Roberts (R.F.U. Council Member) and myself. Your Club Liaison Member will remain in contact with you on a regular basis throughout this crisis. David Roberts may also contact you from an R.F.U. perspective as he gathers data for the R.F.U. to respond to an ever changing picture. Before I start setting out exactly where we are doing in Hertfordshire I want to make an important announcement. As of today, the “Herts RFU Capital Loan Scheme is Extended”.

Seasonal felicitations to you all & welcome back to Silver Leys for our first game of the New Year, one which holds great promise for our club. Welcome also to the players, officials and supporters of todays opponents Cinderford RFC. ‘2016’ has received a lot of bad press but it was pretty good to us! Bonus point victories in our last four games whilst others surprisingly dropped points, meant we finished the year on top of the heap, which was an unexpected and very pleasant early Christmas present. Last time out here we overcame a spirited Exmouth team 38-7. They certainly didn’t play like they were bottom of the table, which illustrates the competitive nature of this league. In the pre-Christmas game at Bury St Edmunds, our large and vociferous band of travelling supporters helped negate any benefit the Suffolk side may have expected by being at home. Ultimately though games are won and lost on the pitch and once again our guys produced a polished performance to run out comfortable 33-16 winners.

Our connection goes back to 2002 when Chris Palmer (Cuffley RFC) introduced us to both Bob Weston (Chairman) and Stuart Thomas (Gr Finance Dir) and since then we have had a most fantastic relationship. We are so grateful for their incredible support whether on the field, in the clubhouse, on the golf course and of course helping to finance the amazing growth we have witnessed over the past 10 years in the playing numbers. There is no question that if we hadn’t had such generous financial support from them then the game of rugby would not be in such good health in Hertfordshire. During this period Herts Rugby has seen success on the field as follows, 2012 County Champions, 2012 U 20’s Jason Leonard Trophy, 2011 County Championship finalists, 2009 County Shield finalists and 2015 County Shield Champions. For a small county we fight well above our weight and this is down to superb preparation which couldn’t happen without sponsors of the like of Weston Homes.
