STOURBRIDGE RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB - THE WEST MIDLANDS' LEADING COMMUNITY RUGBY CLUB
Stourbridge is the home to high quality, ambitious sportsmen who enjoy playing entertaining rugby backed by a sound commercial operation.
For members and spectators this translates to a great match day experience on and off the field. A genuine, member-owned rugby club looking forward to a great 2009-10 season.
Stourbridge players are at the top of the semi-professional game with some using their time at Stourton Park as a springboard to a fully professional career.
Others use the County Championship and England Counties as an outlet for their ambition and in all fields they are supported by the Club in every way possible. Of course, a high scoring win against rivals new and old is always top of the agenda!
Neil Mitchell, Stourbridge's Director of Rugby, has spent the summer preparing a squad that the Club can be truly proud of.
Captained by Ben Hughes and including the bulk of last year's players such as Tom Richardson, Ben Gerry and Adam Billig the squad has been strengthened with some extra experience, including Andi Lawrence from Bees, James Rodley from London Irish, former Wales International 7's star Craig Richards and Canadian International Seb Pearson. This is combined with exciting youth such as Duncan Chance who has developed through our own "Lions" side and former Hartpury second row and local boy Wayne Cooper. Watch out for the return of Sam Robinson and Mark Eastwood, following a prolonged period of absence, through injuries!
While Mitch continues to keep his cards close to his chest, we can expect a few more new faces pulling on the navy and white hoops at Stourton Park when the season starts.
If you're a player with ambition and talent, then make a positive career move by contacting Neil Mitchell, Director of Rugby, on DoR@stourtonpark.com
