Chew Valley
RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
Chew Valley RFC is based at Lobbingtons on Chew Lane in Bristol and their first team
currently competes in the Tribute Western Counties North League. They are led by the
team of President Andrew Tanner and Chair Shane Cameron and the club is looking
to progress under their guidance.
Their first team has enjoyed a campaign to remember this
time around, compiling a record of twenty-three wins, one
draw ad two defeats from their twenty-six matches. This sees
them sitting proudly at the top of the table with 116 points on
the board.
Winning the league is a fantastic achievement for Chew
Valley and they deserve tremendous credit for the success. So
long as they are able to retain their current group of players and
can perhaps make one or two quality additions they should
be in with a good chance of another successful campaign next
time around.

Chew Valley is not a club to focus solely upon their senior
section and this is reflected by the fact that they also have a
thriving youth set up. This part of the club looks to provide
young players from the local community with the opportunity
to play the game in a safe and enjoyable environment whilst
helping them to reach their full potential.
It is important for any club looking to be successful over a
sustained period of time to be able to produce their own talent
and this is an area they appear to have covered. It will certainly
be exciting to see how their youngsters can progress in the
coming years.
In order to help make sure that these players enjoy a smooth
transition into the senior game they also run additional sides.
This allows them to gain experience of adult level rugby even
if they are not yet considered ready for first team action which
can be an important step in the development process.
Another benefit of having extra teams is that it allows
the first XV to benefit from far greater strength in depth. If
they are ever left short on numbers through injury or work
commitments they have the option of calling up replacements
with a limited amount of disruption.
Chew Valley RFC’s success this season is a just reward for
all of the hard work that goes into the club. If they continue
in the same manner they should be able to look forwards to a
bright and successful future for many years to come.
