Biggleswade is a thriving club with a proud history of being a part
of the local community. The Club feels that aspiring to be a Midlands
1 side again in the next five years is realistic and everyone is working
very hard to achieve that ambition.
Shane is keen that the Club should
adopt the 15 man New Zealand style
with every player able to employ all
the rugby skills. Pre-season training has
gone well as the senior squad works on
ensuring that their structures are right as
the base for a more expansive game.
The Club is keen to play rugby at a
higher level but it has to rely on its very
strong Mini and Youth sections to channel
players through to the senior sides. As
the Biggleswade area has expanded in
the last few years recruiting players who
move into the district is a main part of the
club reaching out into the community.
Attendance at the local carnival,
hosting school teams to use the facilities
including a flood lit pitch, visiting
schools to promote the game and an
annual Santa Charity night are just a few
of the activities which the Club does.
It’s involvement in the community was
recognised when it won a competition
run by the RFU which included a trip to
Twickenham as part of the prize.
The Mini and Youth sections are very
strong with a team in all age groups
