Chesham
B
ased on Chartridge Lane in Buckinghamshire, Chesham Rugby Club currently competes in the Berks/Bucks and
Oxon Premier League. They run three senior men’s sides, a women’s team as well as a thriving mini and junior
section. They are led by the team of Chairman Simon Harris and President Cliff Davies and have made a considerable
amount of progress under their guidance.
The club’s core idea is, “if you want a
game, you get a game” and they pride
themselves on offering reasonable
membership fees, competitive rugby, high
class coaching and great facilities. They
encourage as many people as possible
from the local community to get involved
and are known as ‘Bucks Friendliest
Rugby Club.’
The club has a history of which they have
every right to be proud of having first
been established on October 22nd 1981 in
The Red Lion. Councillor John Downes
was at the heart of this, announcing that
the club was being formed and inviting
further discussion on the broader policies
of the club and its future.
Downes announced, “I can think of no
greater honour than that of playing for
one’s town”. To this day they are still
made up of many local players but also
attract members from further afield. They
have certainly flourished over the years
and are now a club that provides rugby to
all ages, sexes and abilities.
The team put together a steady campaign
last time around as they compiled a record
of eight wins and twelve defeats from
their twenty league matches. This saw
them finish in a safe mid-table position
with 38 points on the board.
This should provide the club with a solid
platform from which to build as they look
ahead to their 2015/16 campaign. As long
as they can retain their current group of
players and perhaps make one or two
quality additions they should be in with
a good chance of claiming a higher league
finish this time around. It will certainly be
interesting to see how they get along and
their players are confident of doing well.
Chesham Rugby Club has come a long
way since being founded to become the
superb family establishment that they are
today. This is thanks to all the hard work
that their Committee has put into making
them a success and Rugby Club Magazine
would like to wish them the best of luck
for the future.
