Salisbury
H
aving first officially been established for the 1912/13 season, Salisbury RFC has put together a history of which they
have every right to be proud with a focus on providing rugby for players, spectators and volunteers. They are open
to everyone and will always make sure visitors are given a warm welcome.
This season their first team has been in superb form, putting
together a record of nineteen wins and three defeats from their
twenty two matches. This saw them finish in second place in the
league with 89 points on the board.
Although they would have liked to claim the league title they

additional revenue which is particularly important in the current
financial climate.

sustained period of time to be able to produce their own talent
and this is an area that they appear to have covered. It will
certainly be exciting to see how their juniors can progress as they
move through the ranks.
Salisbury’s superb season this time around is a reflection of all the
hard work that has gone into making them a success over re
