Redditch
in the season because of the loss of a few players and some early
season injuries. This meant that they flirted with relegation all
season leaving it to the last match of the campaign when they
secured a five point win against local rivals Claverdon, whilst
bottom club Tenbury provided the shock of the season to defeat
our main rivals Birmingham Civil Service.
The year was disappointing for our Veterans team who
only managed three or four games during the season. Fixtures
were often cried off at the last moment as teams evaporated on
Saturday morning. The Junior Section performed well across the
board with good numbers and some outstanding results on the
field.”

proven to excel in all areas of exhibition
display management.
“We are busy getting prepared for the new season. With the
two most difficult sides promoted and four new teams in the
league we are keen to test ourselves against them. Our Coach,
Simon Fitzpatrick, has been trying to keep things simple and
basic, playing committed, error free rugby. Signs that this was
working came through last season as we had some excellent
performances against strong clubs.
We hope that the Veterans team will have better luck as we
join a new initiative for Friday Night Casual and Vets Rugby
with ten other local clubs. The games will be played under
floodlights in a round robin format and everyone who wants a
game will get one. It is all about having fun.” Situated in Wychbold, near Droitwich
Spa, Mast Displays own 7000 square
feet of manufacturing space and over
5000 square feet of storage.

“We have a thriving mini and junior section with around 130
players spread over seven teams. Our teams last season took the
scalps of many local high flying clubs across the grades. We have
a new, fresh committee in the junior section and they are looking
forward to the challenge. We work with the RFU in supporting
the All Schools Programme trying to get rugby into the schools
of what has always seemed a football town.
Many of our senior players and committee have transitioned
from the junior ranks and there is a smattering of cross
fertilization as hockey players are rugby mums and vice versa.
Our emphasis is on providing a family club where there is
something for everyone. We even have a boules court which is
in regular use!”
The team consists of Carpenters,
Painter & Decorators, Labourers and
Drivers. The company also owns
their own mini fleet of vehicles, and
everyone involved has over 30 years
of experience within the exhibition
industry.

“I first got involved with the club after doing well at school
and being advised to go along. I started playing in 1967
and continued until 2001 when injuries took their toll,
initially playing as a scrumhalf before moving to hooker.
At one point I was first team captain and my nephew now
has that honour.
I’ve also sponsored the club for thirty years and hope that
they can stay in the league they deserve to be in starting
with pushing on next season. I wish everyone at the club
all the best for the future.”
