EAST DORSET EAST DORSET East Dorset RFC plays their home games at Iford Lane Playing Fields and currently competes in the Dorset and Wilts 2 South League. They are led by Chairman Gary Fretton who is supported by Treasurer Vicky Keating and the club has made a considerable amount of progress under their guidance. Their first team has made a superb start to the season this time around having managed to win all 3 of their opening matches. This sees them sitting near the top of the table and if they are able to keep up the recent good form it should not be long before they find themselves top. Their positive opening is a re flection of the hard work that the team put into pre-season and should provide them with the perfect platform upon which to build over the coming months. So long as they are able to retain their current group of players they should be well set up for a successful campaign. Happy •Club & Bar Decorations •Theme Decs •Novelties •Fancy Dress and more!

This is reflected by the fact that they have already racked up 81 points in the league alone. This has certainly meant that any supporters attending their fixtures have been well entertained and should encourage more of the local community to get behind the team in the future. This in turn has the potential to provide them with a valuable source of additional revenue which can be particularly useful during the off-season when they are not able to rely upon matchday income.
