rugby tradition. But otherwise, it is up to the club to develop
its future players.
“The facilities are well used by ‘outside’ groups
throughout the year with the clubhouse being regularly used
for various social functions. The club’s rugby programme is
well publicised and, at the moment, the summer touch rugby
evening is proving to be very popular.
“The club has done well during the past twelve months with
a group of members being involved in a major refurbishment
project. The RFU’s ‘World Cup Grant’ proved to be particularly
useful and was used to expand the clubhouse space and to
give the whole area a much needed ‘face lift’.
“However, the playing facilities are in need of improving
with the shower area being a constant embarrassment on
match days. The main pitch struggles to cope with the constant
demand for a match pitch. During the forthcoming season
the main pitch will have to cope with a senior game on the
Saturday and then a youth game on Sunday morning and a
Colts game on Sunday afternoon.
“We are now looking at the possibility of applying to the
RFU for some financial support that would enable the club to
install a 4G pitch. It is then hoped to establish a women’s team
at the club.
“One of the biggest challenges for us is that the club
struggles to have sufficient volunteers to undertake the
various committee and match day tasks. The main pitch
playing surface is a cause for concern and a solution will have
to be found as soon as possible.
“Our ambitions for the future will be for the 1st team to gain
promotion back to level 6, with the Junior teams continuing
to be well supported. It would also be ideal to have the main
pitch replaced by a 4G surface.”

AMREEN and her husband Imran Younis
started their taxi business, 1st Central Cars
of Walsall, on August 19th 2015. As they
approach their first anniversary, Amreen spoke

Rugby Club, saying, “Our customers are
always our priority and 1st Central Cars pride
themselves on providing a reliable, efficient
and quality service to the club.
“Francis the bar manager has been an absolute
pleasure to work with. She stated that our
company was one she admired and was one
she could envisage working alongside. It was
wonderful to receive such positive feedback.
“My husband and I and all of our staff at 1st
Central would like to wish everyone associated
with Walsall Rugby Club continued success
with the hope that we can celebrate many
more birthdays with them in the future.”
