Claverdon
Results wise it’s been slightly disappointing, we’ve had
a lot of games lost by only a couple of points and in the last
couple of minutes of the games. The passion amongst the team
though is second to none. We have had a tour to Newcastle
followed by a club dinner, there will be touch rugby and BBQ’s
most weeks throughout the summer with pre-season starting
sometime in July.”

Funeral Services
We create every funeral individually, just for you.
Youth
“Youth rugby is very important to the club! We have nearly
300 minis currently at the club who come down every Sunday.
It’s difficult to ensure players make the transition into the
senior game, a lot of players head off to University and then
move away from the age of 18, meaning not many successfully
make the transition.”
Challenges/Ambitions
“Maintaining a 2nd team could be hard, with amateur
rugby on the decline the lowest level of rugby will be the most
punished. I don’t doubt that Claverdon will be able to get a
team out every week as we are such a popular club but getting
opposition will be tough. This will then make people lose
interest which could be devastating for the club.
Realistically, our ambition is to stay exactly how we are,
we are not world beaters on the pitch and don’t intend to be.
Our Motto is ‘We are a social club that plays rugby’ although
we have some very talented players at the club we don’t really
want to start climbing up the leagues as it will be very difficult
to stay up which could then make people lose interest.”
