modern way. Recognising that we’ve
worked hard to build an environment
where we give all players, irrespective
of level, the maximum opportunity to
engage.
We’ve invested in quality coaching
and training pitch improvements and
are getting fantastic results with training
this season being the best attended we’ve
ever known. This has allowed us to
build a senior squad of real quality right
throughout the Seniors. I enjoy seeing
players enjoying training, improving
and getting the results on the field. We
have a real one club mentality and being
in the clubhouse on a Saturday after the
teams all return and it’s buzzing and the
banter is flowing are some of the best
moments.”
Atmosphere 2018/19
“The atmosphere here is fantastic.
We are in the midst of a very enjoyable
season for the Seniors and the Minis
and Juniors are going from strength to
strength. Our Colts teams are established
and so we have a strong base from which
to build towards our goals. Behind
the Rugby is an ambitious and well
represented committee moving the club
in a positive direction.
The club finances whilst always
challenging are underpinned by our
fantastic Marquee room which has
recently been refurbished, and not
only hosts numerous Rugby events
throughout the year, but provides a
fantastic events venue for our community
to use, and brings in vital funds to run
and develop the club.” “To date our season has gone just
about as well as we could have hoped.
Both our 1st XV and 2nd XV are currently
in the hunt for promotion with the 1st
sitting top and the 2nds in 3rd. We’ve got
a fantastic coaching set up led by Sale and
Scottish Internationals Byron McGuigan
and Josh Strauss who have both really
invested in the club in terms of time and
effort and the enjoyment they seem to
take from being involved and the M&J’s,
as always, are fantastically energised
with a great ethos for volunteering and
getting stuck in. The various minis and
Junior age groups are entering Cup
Finals season so we hope to some more
silverware being added to their already
heaving trophy cabinet.”
“Cheshire is fortunate to have so many rugby clubs
and we’re proud sponsors of the 1stXV at Bowdon.
The not to be matched bonhomie of the Bowdon
club ensures guests are given a warm welcome and
our corporate guests always say that games, overall
experience and hospitality are exceptional.
It’s a true family atmosphere at Clay Lane and the
grass-roots philosophy plays a big part in the club’s
ethos.
We wish Bowdon RUFC success for the rest of this
season and are pleased to be associated with the club,
its supporters and wider community. Top of the table with
all to play for!”

“I’ve been involved with the club since my eldest son
joined the U6 age group, becoming a support coach
the following year. I eventually took a leading coach role
from U12s and have moved through the age groups, now
leading the U16s, soon to be junior colts. The U16s this
year will compete in the Bowl Final of the Cheshire Cup.
We have sponsored the club on several occasions
and continue to part sponsor the annual tour, this year
heading overseas for the first time with a tour to Ireland.
The touring party of twenty-four lads and a similar number
of parents had a great time and it was great to see the
squad bond as a team and friends.
Best wishes from the company to everyone at the
club and best of luck to the U16s at the Cheshire Cup
finals day as well as all the other age groups competing
in the same.”
