Crowborough
C
rowborough RFC was formed in 1936 and has gone on to put together a history of which they have every right to be
proud. Their Chairman, Graham Callard took the time to tell us more about how the club is getting along at present.
Atmosphere
He told us, “Players, members and supporters
alike are buoyant about where we are and
where we are going, both on and off the
field. We have a tremendous cadre of
volunteers (coaches, administrators,
workers), a loyal band of locally
grown talent on the field, and a large
and vociferous following at games.
The Rugby World Cup is aiding the
excitement about the season ahead.”
This Season
“Last season was challenging for our
senior sides as towards the end of
the campaign we were plagued with
an unprecedented injury list. Despite
this, all our senior sides maintained
their league positions which was an
excellent outcome.
Our fantastic mini and junior sections
acquitted themselves well in tournaments
and leagues with several trophies coming
our way, often at the expense of clubs who
might be perceived as being ‘bigger’. Most
importantly we maintained our reputation for
playing and doing things the right way, keeping
rugby’s core values in mind at all times.”
The Off-Season
“For the players and townsfolk we are running the
excellent 02 Touch program. This is alongside senior training
which is already underway. Off the field we have a full diary of
club hires and events. We are proud of our community credentials
and the fact the community recognises us as a ‘go to’ venue for parties
and business meetings is great. Obvi
