The
Old Grovian
Rugby Team is a newly formed side of mainly
Old Grovians
who have played rugby to a good level. The team began life in the
Yorkshire 5B league which is a bottom league but nonetheless produces an
excellent and very challenging standard of play.
When we established
Old Grovians Rugby in 2007 it was a joy to get old friends back together
again playing the gentleman's game that we all love. We quickly
realised that we wanted to share our friendly team environment with
players of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.
As an official
independent rugby club we have not only attracted many Old Grovians
directly from school giving them their first taste of senior league
rugby but also welcomed numerous other players from other local clubs
and within the community.
You will
discover excellent training facilities, infrastucture and team support
which has also helped attract and develop a number of novice players to
gain their first ever playing experience of rugby.
In our first full
season (2007/2008) we finished 3rd equal and just missed out on a play
off place. Our second season saw us reach the end of season play offs,
only narrowly missing out on promotion. This has been a fantastic
achievement for everyone concerned and one which we all will continue
to build on. Congratulations everyone!
Our main drive is for
promotion through the leagues and this will come from continued success
and development of the club. Therefore your support is continually
welcome, whether from
NEW PLAYERS,
SPONSORS, Supporters
or Old Grovians, everyone's help will always be truly welcome.
