ABOUT SALISBURY RFC

CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Welcome to the 2021/22 season

As another new season begins, it feels like this is the start of something different that we have all been looking forward to for a long time. After the disruption of the 2019/2020 season and the limitations of the 2020/2021 season with no league rugby it is difficult to assess what to expect. We all look forward to many opportunities to celebrate successes but realise there will be challenges along the way.

The 1st XV Men start the campaign in Southern Counties South and look forward to meeting a lot of old foes along the way in what we expect to be a very competitive league. The 2nd and 3rd Mens teams continue in their respective D&W leagues, knowing how competitive the rugby at this level is but aiming to do well

Player availability is a significant factor in all our senior team's successes and the whole Club is committed to producing a positive culture across all the teams to encourage and sustain player engagement. Commitment over the past 18 months has been outstanding with an increase in numbers training with new players being openly welcomed.

The Women's team have been very committed over the last 18 months but have struggled to increase numbers. The aim for the coming season is to build the Ladies and girls teams over the coming season.

Walking Rugby continues to grow and is now well established after a reorganisation during lockdown. Training numbers are high, and they are looking forward to upcoming festivals. Their sportsmanship and enthusiasm are to be applauded.

The Youth section is buoyant, and we expect to be welcoming many new and existing players to the game. We look forward to the children reaping the rewards of the high-quality coaching Salisbury RFC provides this season and beyond.

Project All Change, the redevelopment of our changing facilities, has now completed following several seasons of fundraising efforts. Thanks to all those who have given so much time, effort, and funds to this project and we hope everyone who visits Salisbury RFC will be able to appreciate what has been achieved for the long-term benefit of the Club. The opportunity to 'Buy a Brick' which will be displayed on the front of the building for future generations, continues this season. Please show your support.

Finally, I remind you of the many social events that take place at the Clubhouse. Please support these events as they are vital to keep the club operating and providing rugby for the local community. I look forward to seeing you at the Club to enjoy all the successes and challenges the season has to offer.

Russell Jugg

Chairman of Salisbury Rugby Club
