Ashby RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB

Ashby RFC has roots dating back to 1876 and has gone on to put together a history of which they have every right to be proud since then . Based on Nottingham Road in Leicestershire , their first team currently competes in the Midlands 3 East ( North ) League . They are led by the team of President Andrew Jackson and Chairman Paul Collier and the club is looking to progress under their guidance .

Last season , their first team put together a solid league campaign as they compiled a record of eleven wins and eleven defeats from their twenty two matches . This saw them finish in a safe mid-table position with fifty six points on the board .
This should provide the club with a solid platform from which to build as they look ahead to the new campaign and they have been working hard during the off-season to make sure that they can push on . As long as they are able to retain their current group of players and can perhaps make one or two quality additions they should be in with a good chance of doing just that .
Ashby is not a club to focus solely upon their senior section however and this is reflected in the fact that they also have a thriving youth set up in place .
