Based at the Bury Sports Club on Radcliffe Road in Greater Manchester, Bury RUFC currently
competes in the North Lancashire Division Two. They are led by the team of Chairman Gary
Chester and President Martin Freschini and the club has made a considerable amount of
progress under their guidance.
This season they have made a
promising start to the ir league
campaign, managing to win 3 of their
first 4 matches. This has left them
sitting just behind the pace setters in
the early going with 15 points on the
board.
If they can keep up their recent level of
performance they will be in with a good
chance of finding themselves top of the
pile before too long. So long as they
are able to retain their current group of
players and perhaps make one or two
quality additions they should be in for a
successful season.
One of the major highlights of the
team’s play has been the attacking
brand of rugby that they have managed
to produce. This is reflected by the fact
that they have scored an impressive
155 points, making them the top
scorers in the league.
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.
One of the standout features of the
Bury set up is the superb youth section
that they have in place. This part of
the club looks to provide young people
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.
