Tamworth
Potential
“ We have some promising youngsters in the junior teams , with several county players , and players involved in the Leicester development program . Our under 17 ’ s have been County champions for the last 5 seasons , and we are excited at the prospect of some of those players coming through to senior rugby in the next few years .”
Challenges
“ We need to make sure we offer good facilities , we are doing very well at the moment , but we are all aware that player retention in all sports is a challenge . We are looking at improving our car parking , and playing areas . It is important to build on work we have carried out over the last few years to provide more floodlit areas for midweek training .
Ambitions
“ On the playing side we want to continue to grow the junior section , and to re-introduce ladies ’ rugby . The 1st XV need to establish themselves in the league above . We are blessed with a fantastic Georgian lodge as a clubhouse , but we need to redevelop the extension to provide more changing rooms and function facilities .”

Martyn Bowden sponsors Tamworth RUFC with his business UK Jetpower Ltd . He recently told Rugby Club Magazine , “ My business takes me all over the world so unfortunately I only managed to play six or seven 1st team games last season . I have played for Tamworth since I was a five year old and I am now thirty years of age . I have also had a few seasons away at Nuneaton in later years .
The senior teams have had a great season this year and a full coaching and playing squad has been essential and made all the difference . I would like to wish everyone associated with the club all the very best next season !”
