Blandford
RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
F
irst established in 1976 with the aim, “to provide rugby football for the growing
number of enthusiasts in Blandord,” Blandford RFC is able to celebrate its 40th
anniversary in 2016. They have certainly come a long way since being founded with
their first team now competing in the Southern Counties South West Division.
Their first team has made a steady
start to their league campaign so far this
time around, winning one, drawing one
and losing two of their first four matches.
This has left them sitting in a mid-table
position with seven points on the board.
This should provide them with a solid
platform from which to build as they look
ahead to the rest of the campaign. So long
as they are able to retain their current
40 Issue 65
group of players and perhaps make one
or two quality additions they should be
in with a good chance of pushing on up
the league.
One of the highlights of the team’s
has been the attacking brand of rugby
that they have been able to produce. This
has been reflected by the fact that they
have already racked up 82 points at a rate
of more than twenty per game, making
them the top scorers in the bottom half
of the league.
This will certainly have meant that
any supporters attending their matches
will have been well entertained and
should encourage more of the local
community to get behind the side in
future. This in turn has the potential to
provide them with a valuable source of
additional revenue.
