Old
Northamptonians
B
ased at the Sir Humphrey Cripps Pavilion on Billing Road in Northampton, Old Northamptonians RFC currently
competes in the Midlands 1 East League. They are led by the team of President Barry Timms and Chairman Peter
Doughty and the club has made a considerable amount of progress under their guidance.
Indeed, their first team has been in superb
form so far this season, putting together a
record of 19 wins and just 4 defeats from
their first 23 matches. This has left them
sitting in 2nd place in the table with 92
points on the board.
Although it will be difficult for them
to catch league leaders Syston in the
remaining games they will be keen to
finish with a good run of performances
in order to finish the campaign on a
high. This would ensure that they have
the perfect platform from which to build
during the off-season.
One of the highlights of the team’s
performances so far this season has been
the attacking brand of rugby that they
have been able to produce. This has been
reflected by the fact that they have racked
up an impressive 832 points, making them
the top scorers in the league.
This will certainly have meant that any
supporters attending their matches will
have been well entertained and should
encourage more of the community to get
behind the side in the future. This in turn
has the potential to provide the club with
a valuable source of additional revenue.
Old Northamptonians is not a club to
focus solely upon their senior section
however and they also have a number of
youth sides in place. These teams look to
provide youngsters 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.
It is important for any side to produce
their own talent, particularly in the
current financial climate and this is an
area that they appear to have covered. It
will certainly be exciting to see how their
juniors progress over the coming years.
Old Northamptonians is clearly a club
that is benefitting from a superb set up
behind the scenes and this is allowing
them to be successful on the field.
Hopefully they will be able to continue in
the same manner for many years to come
and everyone at Rugby Club Magazine
would like to wish them the best of luck
for the future.
