Stewarts &
Lloyds (Corby)
S
tewarts and Lloyds (Corby) RFC was officially formed in 1936 having played their first match a year earlier against
Kettering. The main organisers during the early years were Bert Green, Windsor Genner and Arthur Cooper who had
no difficulty setting up fixtures due to the popularity of rugby in the area.
Over the years Stewarts and Lloyds
have put together a history of which
they have every right to be proud
and the long term future of the club
was secured when they signed a 99
year lease for the clubhouse and three
pitches in 1991.
The team currently plays their
home games on Occupation Road
in Northants and their first team
competes in the Midlands 2 East
(South) League. They are led by the
team of President John Davidson and
Chairman Adey Mitchell and the club
is looking to progress under their
guidance.
This season it would be fair to
say that their first team has not
perhaps enjoyed the campaign that
they would have liked, having put
together a record of six wins and
fifteen defeats from their twenty-one
league matches played to date. This
sees them sitting near the bottom of
the table with 31 points on the board.
They will now be keen to have a
positive off-season in order to ensure
that they are able to gain better results
next time around. As long as they can
retain their current group of players
and perhaps make one or two quality
additions they will have a good
chance of making an improvement.
Stewarts and Lloyds is a club that is
committed to playing an important
role in their local community and this
is reflected by the fact that they make
their clubhouse available to hire. It
has a seating capacity of 120 with a
fully fitted kitchen and bar available.
It is capable of hosting a variety of
different events including parties,
group functions, meetings and advice
groups. As well as helping the local
community this also has the potential
to provide the club with a valuable
source of additional revenue which is
particularly important in the current
financial climate.
Stewarts and Lloyds disappointing
campaign at first team level should
not take away from the good work
that has been getting done at the club
in recent times. Rugby Club Magazine
would like to take this opportunity
to wish them the best of luck for the
future.
