Blandford Rugby Football Club - could produce a sporting legend

I am an avid Rugby supporter so I am

looking forward to supporting Blandford Rugby Football Club in the coming

months. The Club will kick off the new season with a new senior strip of

scarlet, amber and white. The strip can be viewed on their website.

The Senior fixtures commence on 11th

September with Blandford 1st team XV against Swanage and Wareham II and

Blandford 2nd team XV against Oakmedians III so they will need lots of local

support.

This Rugby club is played and run by local families

and volunteers and so plays a big part in the community. Founded in 1976 at the

former Half Moon Inn as a pub side, the club has successfully gained a credible

reputation in rugby circles. The clubs success has seen them promoted in Dorset

and Wiltshire leagues to Southern Counties South League.

Further success has come from the Juniors

section with over 100 under 16’s now training ever Sunday for competitive

games. Children from around the area from 6 years can join, have fun, learn new

skills and keep fit. Playing in a team sport is good for their physical and

social development. Parents can get involved too with lots of voluntary

opportunities with the Junior section.

A Junior team played at the Weymouth Beach

Rugby Tournament on 24th July against many other good local sides.

The have gained credible local sponsors like Conyers and Gorcombe Extreme Sports and other big names.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              If you would like to help with coaching or

becoming a team manager then contact the club for more information.
