we would. Now with the new development and the LSA we believe
we will go from strength to strength and become a focus of the
community and sport for many generations to come.
We’ve also been lucky with the support we’ve received from the
local community. The town council invested heavily in providing
us a first team pitch which must be the envy of every rugby club

recently and was incredibly impressed – from our first few years of
playing on a pitch that didn’t stand up to poor conditions we now

have a flat, drained, billiard table of a pitch to host visitors on.
We’ve also got some great sponsors – most notably Shahin Malek,
owner of our local Indian restaurant ‘Rivaaz’ who has sponsored
our kit for the past 5 years and Simon Thoyts of the Chequers
Public House who has provided us with a venue to host teams after
matches, providing great food for the players.”
