Northampton Casuals
Rob Dearing recently spoke to Rugby Club Magazine
about his positive association with Northampton Casuals
RFC, saying, “I played most of my rugby as a back-row
player and usually as no 8 for Stockwood Park who
played in the same league as the Casuals last season. I
made a special effort to visit the club on the fixtures when
both teams met and naturally would wear my old team
jersey which would receive some notice. I also referee,
most recently for my son Jacob’s U12s team and before
that U10 and 11s down at Daventry Rugby Club.
The Northampton region is a real hot bed of rugby
clubs and Northampton Casuals provide a great service
to the local area and in some ways are front runners in
providing opportunities for young people to become
involved in Rugby. The game has changed a lot over the
past twenty years with many positive additions brought
in by the RFU to improve safety in tackling and general
play plus more attention has been given to strength and
conditioning, particularly for those body parts like knees
which perhaps are more likely to be injured and need to
be looked after more for that reason.
Our company Clifford Roberts are very proud of
our association with the Casuals and very much value
our long standing friendships and association with the
club. They have a really good group of members who
put a lot of effort into making this club one of the most
respected in the region. I would like to congratulate
everyone at Northampton Casuals Rugby Club on their
achievements so far and wish them continued success
for the 2019/2020 campaign!”
Andy Dimmock is an ex-player, ex-president and
sponsor at Northampton Casuals Rugby Club. He told
us, “Myself and both my brothers Martyn and Trevor
played for the Casuals as did Trevor’s son Marcus and
my own son Alex. I started playing in my mid-teens mainly
in the backs, playing most positions over the years but
quite often as full back.
Last season was a very good one for our club with
many of our teams competing really strongly particularly
with a lot of good young players coming through the
ranks. The main challenge we faced were really coping
with the challenges of injuries as the season progressed

and if a few close games had gone our way then the
league would have been ours.
Nevertheless, promotion was gained by a very good
side and our thriving junior section will surely ensure the
future of the club for years to come with some of our mid
teenage teams already demonstrating great quality, skill
and unity in their play.
Our company is delighted to support the club and
help out when we can and I would like to wish all my
friends down at Northampton Casuals Rugby Club
the very best of continued success throughout the
2019/2020 campaign!”
