changed our name to; Epping Upper Clapton Rugby Club. The
mood here is very good, everyone is excited that the teams are
playing good rugby and there is progress on the development of
the new club house.
Youth rugby is very important; it is the future of the club. We are
building the new club house and facilities for them. Integrating
these players is the most difficult area for us and we have failed
on many occasions. We do have in place a structure to improve
the transition and this seems to be working.
We are a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC). We have
soccer, netball and local schools using our facilities during the
week. We also run a girls section and we hope this will improve
this once we have the new club house in place.
The club has produced many quality players over the years I
have been a member. We have had players play for England and
the Counties i.e. Middlesex and Essex and a number of players
have gone onto bigger clubs such as; Blackheath, Roslyn Park,
Bedford and most recently Ealing Trail Finders.
Our ambitions are to improve our playing standards and move
up the leagues. This will be done by attracting new players and
developing our existing youth players. We want to have a viable
sports club that is financially sustainable that offers sports and
educational facilities for the benefit of all people in the area.”
