Based on Lower Albert Road in Worcestershire, Evesham RFC’s first team currently compete
in the Midlands 4 West (South) League. They are led by the team of Chairman Ali Sands and
President Paddy Hartley and have made a considerable amount of progress under their guidance.
Their first team has enjoyed
a good start to the current
campaign, having compiled a
record of 2 wins and one defeat
from their first 3 fixtures. This
sees them sitting in the top half
of the table with 10 points on the
board.
This should provide them with
the perfect platform from which
to build as they look ahead to
the rest of the season. So long
as they are able to retain their
current group of players and
perhaps make one or two quality

additions they will have a good
chance of mounting a serious
title challenge.
One of the major positives to
take from their early fixtures
has been the attacking brand of
rugby that they have managed
to produce. This is reflected by
the large number of points that
they have scored which sees
them as one of the top scorers
in the league.
This has ensured that anyone
attending their fixtures has
been well entertained and
should encourage more of the
community to get behind them
in the future. This in turn has the
potential to provide them with
a valuable source of additional
revenue.
One of the standout features
of the Evesham set-up is the
superb youth section that they
have in place. This part of the
club looks to provide youngsters
from the local community with
an opportunity to play the
game in a safe and enjoyable
environment whilst helping them
to reach their full potential.
