RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
Claverdon RFC is a fine example of a community club that
welcomes all ages, abilities and people from all walks of life.
Rugby Club Magazine recently caught up with their Club
Captain Charlie Byrd to find out more about how they have
been getting along lately.
Involvement
He told us, “This year has been my 6th season at the club,
what attracted me was the welcoming atmosphere of everyone
with a very social bunch of people. The biggest challenge as
always about being captain is maintain a regular team; we are
a social club that plays rugby so people aren’t 100% committed
to playing week in week out as much as I would like. This
means there is a different team out most weeks which makes
winning regularly tough.
The rewards though are amazing, it’s an honour to be
Captain of Claverdon RFC, to make the speeches and give out
all the awards to the deserved individuals is something that
70 Issue 79
will stay with me forever. Winning as a Captain and leading
your team to a well-deserved victory is hard to beat, I’m not
sure if it can be!”
Present
“The general mood is a good one; we have successfully
put out two teams virtually every weekend for the whole
season. Even though the results haven’t gone our way for
the second half of the season there is and always will be a
great vibe down at our club. One of our sayings is ‘win or
lose, on the booze’. And we’ve certainly done that this year.
