Established in 1936, Rugby Welsh RFC has a proud History, which includes Rugby & District Clomnel Cup holders in 2006

History

Founded in 1936 ‘The Welsh Club’ started life as Rugby St Andrews Welsh XV. At that time significant numbers of young men had resettled to Rugby from Wales to find work in the engineering industry that had flourished in the town.
After the 2nd world war and a period of closure, The Welsh Club was resurrected and established as Rugby Welsh RFC. A plot of land was acquired and a club house built in Bakehouse Lane that served as a base for the social side of the club with Rugby being played at various locations in the town including the current home ground at Alywn Road.
Through the sixties, seventies and eighties the club grew to be running four senior sides and colts. A period of decline in the late nineties was a consequence of lacking facilities with the club being reduced to only one side.

Rugby Welsh RFC:

Over the last two seasons the Rugby at the club has seen quite a remarkable resurrection and the current team have been achieving great results against a changing and increasingly impressive fixture list.
Having let the clubhouse for alternative use and relocated to the George at Bilton this year, the club has grown in strength both on and off the field. They are looking forward to being able to introduce a second team whilst building on the non-playing following that has been a strong aspect of the club over the years.
As a last word, it is important to recognise the hard work and dedication of the players and officers of the club over the years and in the present day. These are the people that have been responsible for establishing, developing and holding the club together in the past and ensuring it’s revival now and for the future.

Previous Match Report

Date: 3/24/2008
Match: Rugby Welsh: 26 – Pat o’Neil Memorial: 37

Rugby Welsh hosted a District side for the annual Pat O’Neil memorial match at Alwyn Road on Easter Monday. Despite the cold conditions a good sized crowd were there in what turned out to be an entertaining game of rugby. Welsh started very well with the forwards driving to good effect and came close to scoring in the opening five minutes. However strong defence from Vinny Ogg and Mark Brightwell enabled District prop Chaplow to take a quick penalty from his own line and fed his winger who raced in for an unconverted try. Soon after the District side went further ahead when their pacy backs scored an excellent try from quick ball produced from the pack.

Welsh responded well and started to win some good possession with Rob Haddock and Clive Rattenbury making inroads into the District defence. This enabled Phil Day to break several tackles and race over under the posts for Wade to convert. The District side then extended their lead when more good work from their pack enabled the quick backs to run in another try. Welsh then produced some good attacking play after the forwards produced good ball and Tom Neville sent fullback Jason Reynolds over to make the score 15-12 at half-time.

Welsh took the lead immediately after half-time when Rob Haddock crashed over near the post which Daz Wade converted. However the District side responded well with Todd and Eddie Allen impressing in loose play. This enabled them to add two more tries and soon after Brightwell broke through the tired Welsh defence for a converted try. Welsh again responded with good work from Womble and Jim Gurling. This allowed Rattenbury to make a good run into the District 22, and from the resulting penalty Jamie Cranham took a quick tap to score under the posts which Wade converted to make the final score 37-26.
