RUGBY CLUB

yldesley Rugby Club was formed in 1881 and their history is wide
and varied, however the season of 2015-2016, saw them reach a nadir
whereby their senior section was reduced from three teams to one. This was
in no small part due to the travelling incurred by the 1st XV within the North
Lancs/Cumbria league.
The lack of available players to make
the journeys to Cumbria had a profound
knock on effect seeing the 2nd and 3rd
teams leave the very successful NOWIRUL
leagues due to not being able to fulfil the
fixtures. Whilst relegation was avoided on
the last day of the season the committee
approached the county board to request
a league change to help in the re-building
required. Thankfully this request fell on
a sympathetic ear and the transfer was
granted but with it came a voluntary
relegation as they entered South Lancs and
Cheshire 2.
