Stratford-upon-Avon
RFC, founded in 1877, currently fields 4 senior sides, an
Under-19 Colts side and a Veteran side, with the 1st XV
playing in Midlands West One.
Stratford was one of the first clubs in the Midlands not
only to boast the installation of floodlights, but also
to start mini and junior rugby sections in the 1969-70 season.
As a result of Stratford’s strong youth policy, several
young players have gone on to play as junior internationals,
and several have moved on to first class clubs.
The mini and junior sections support teams from under 7’s
to under 17’s, with over 250 registered players. With
a population of only 25,000, Stratford-Upon-Avon can be
justly proud of the achievements of its rugby club, and
of the commitment shown by so many managers, coaches and
players.
