ROMFORD & GIDEA PARK
ROMFORD &
GIDEA PARK
First established in 1929, Romford and Gidea Park play their home games at Crowlands
on Crow Lane in Essex and their first team currently compete in the London and South
East Division of League 1 North. They are led by the team of president Dai Davies and
Chairman Lee Wheeler and the club is looking to progress under their guidance.
Another benefit of having so many sides is
that it allows the first team to benefit from
far greater strength in depth. If they are
ever left short on numbers through injury
or work commitments they have the option
of calling players up with a limited amount
of disruption.
Their first team has had an unusual start to
the campaign as they have drawn 2 of their
first 3 matches, losing the other one. The
first draw finished 24 all against Luton while
the 2nd finished 8 apiece with Thurrock.
They will be keen to get a win on the
board as soon as possible and if they can
show the same commitment as they did
in their 2 drawn games it should not be
long before they are able to do so. It will
be important for them to retain their current
group of players if they are going to have a
successful campaign.
Romford and Gidea Park is not a club
to focus solely upon their senior section
however as they also have a number of
youth sides in place. These teams look to
provide youngsters from the local area with
an opportunity to play the game in a safe
and enjoyable environment whilst helping
them to reach their full potential.
There is much to admire about the Romford
and Gidea Park set up and hopefully they
will be able to continue in the same manner
for many years to come.

It is important for any side to be able to
produce their own talent, particularly in
the current financial climate and this is an
area that they appear to have covered. It
will certainly be exciting to see how their
juniors are able to develop over the coming
years.
In order to help these players to make
the sometimes difficult transition into the
senior game they also have a number of
additional teams running. This allows them
to give them experience of adult level
rugby even if they are not yet considered
ready for first team action which can be an
important step in the development process.
