Letchworth Rugby Football Club

Letchworth Rugby Football Club Letchworth Rugby Club is one of the oldest and most successful rugby union clubs in the Herts & Beds area. Players of all ages & abilities welcome.

Legends Lane is the home to Letchworth Garden City RUFC, one of the oldest and most successful junior rugby union clubs in the Herts & Beds area. We pride ourselves by fielding four senior sides every week and have thriving mini & junior sections. Our 1st XV lead the way in the area playing three leagues above other local clubs, and have been the Herts County Cup Champions for the past two seasons

running. We are also proud to be the home of the ‘Bravehearts’, the only team in the area for adults with learning disabilities. On Sunday mornings our pitches are full of children from the age of six to seventeen being coached our wonderful game. Men and women, the young and not (so) young meet together to be part of a rugby club whose history is as proud as its future is bright. So many of our current and past players who have had the privilege of wearing the ‘Black & Amber’ shirt give their time freely to enthuse, inspire and educate the children who are the future of Letchworth Rugby Football Club. One of the most pleasing things about ‘The Legends’ 2015 Herts County Cup Final victory was that 16 out of the 18 players used were home grown talent. That says a lot about the ethos and the vision of the club over the past 10 years. We have a thriving social scene too, and take great pride in our hospitality – supporters & social members are welcomed with open arms. Our pre-match lunches for 1st XV games and our regular sportsman’s dinners offer great food, great company and great entertainment. We often have live music in the Clubhouse on match days too. We are a truly community based club, and last year our charity balls raised £2,000 for North Herts Hospice and Macmillan. Whether you want an enjoyable day out with friends and family, to entertain your clients or to treat your work colleagues you will find a warm welcome here at the Club. We have excellent facilities, including four full size rugby pitches, a floodlit training area, the best in coaching and physiotherapy, a gym and a club shop. The Clubhouse has recently been refurbished and we are planning further improvements, including a refurbishment of our changing rooms and re-surfacing the car park. The future for Letchworth Rugby Club is bright both on and off the field. Come and join us! The is the Club's official page. It is a community resource for use by our members (senior, junior and mini players, parents, social members etc) and the local community (including potential new players, social members, sponsors etc).

There’s a brilliant line-up of live folk music throughout the day, with a raffle and donations raising money for the MND Association – so please bring some cash if you can.

⛳️ A great day of Golf for a truly wonderful cause 💚

Garden House Hospice Care has been a supported charity of the Letchworth Rugby Club for many years, and this year their work feels especially close to home.

Our much-loved former club legend, Richie Davies, was cared for by the incredible team at Garden House Hospice in his final hours. The compassion and dignity they gave Richie and his family will stay with us, and we know just how important their work is to so many local families.

So, if you're a golfer - or know someone who is - please support this fantastic Charity Golf Day at Letchworth Golf Club. It's a brilliant opportunity to enjoy a great day out while raising money for a charity that makes such a difference in our community.

Please see the flyer for full details and booking information. 💚🏉⛳️

Every swing, every donation and every penny raised will help support the incredible work of Garden House Hospice Care.

A new season begins... and another community milestone achieved 🏉

The senior squad are back on the training field, beginning preparations for another exciting season after narrowly missing out on promotion last season.

Meanwhile, inside the clubhouse, Club President Brian Burke was proud to present a £2,500 cheque to Breast Cancer Now - the fantastic result of our Ladies Day fundraising at the final 1st XV home league game of last season.

It's another reminder that Letchworth Rugby Club is about so much more than rugby. 💛🖤

Another Sad Loss for Our Club

It is with great sadness that I have to bring you yet more heartbreaking news. This week we lost Neil Dower at far too young an age.

Neil came through Letchworth Rugby Club as part of a highly successful Colts side before later helping to found Weston Rugby Club, which has gone on to become one of the great grassroots rugby success stories of the past 15–20 years.

Away from the pitch, Neil was the much-loved and respected leader of Conamar Building Services, the family business founded by his father Con and mother Mary. Through Conamar, the family have also been valued sponsors and supporters of Letchworth Rugby Club for more than two decades, for which we remain incredibly grateful.

Our heartfelt condolences go to Con and Mary, Neil’s brother Paul, Neil’s children, and all of his family and friends at this desperately sad time.

We will share details of Neil’s funeral with members as soon as they become available.

We Shall Mourn, but Celebrate the Life of a True Legend

The inevitable and heartbreaking news came on 1st July that Richard had lost his short but Titanic battle against cancer.

Only two months ago, this fittest of men was planning a walk across his beloved Wales in aid of Cancer Research. How ironic that he should be diagnosed with that awful disease, which then proceeded to rampage through him with no respite, as Mandy, Tash, Max and the rest of us could only look on helplessly.

Richie fought it as best he could, good-humoured to the very last, but this was one hurdle he could not surmount. We must now take comfort in knowing that his pain and suffering has come to an end.

I do not intend to outline his mighty life at this stage - that will wait.

We all know what a tremendous character and leader he was. There were so many facets to Richie, but I would like to emphasise that, while we will mourn his passing far too soon, we are also determined to truly celebrate his remarkable life when we gather together in August.

The funeral arrangements at this stage are as follows:

Thursday 6th August – Letchworth Rugby Club

🕚 Arrival at the club: 11:00am
🕦 Service: 11:30am
🕧 Final goodbyes: 12:45pm
🕐 Richie will leave for the crematorium at 1:10pm. Please note this part of the day is for family and a small number of close friends by invitation only.
🕝 The family will return to the club for the wake at 2:45pm.

If there are any changes, we shall keep you informed. In the meantime, keep Richie and his family warm in your hearts.

It is with great sadness that I have to report the passing of another cherished member of our beloved club. 💛🖤

Terry Masters, or “Head Boy” as he was affectionately known, was for many years a Vice President and a tremendous supporter of Letchworth Rugby Club in his own understated and generous way. Many at the club will know of the Richie McCaw World Cup shirt proudly displayed on the clubhouse wall - one of the many quiet contributions Terry made over the years.

Although he moved in high circles within the City, Terry was always happiest among friends at the rugby club, enjoying a lunch, a sportsman’s dinner or sharing stories and laughter with his great friend Pete Marsden. Even in recent years, despite health setbacks, Terry continued to live life fully - devoted to business, social occasions and, above all, to his beloved wife Cheryl and family.

His 70th birthday celebration at the Liberal Club was a truly memorable occasion and perfectly reflected Terry himself: generous, warm, tasteful and full of good humour.

Terry’s funeral will take place at 12:30pm on Tuesday 9th June at St George’s Church, Norton (the modern church). Members are encouraged to wear club blazers and ties where possible.

The wake will follow at Letchworth Golf Club.

We send our deepest condolences to Cheryl, Charlotte and all of Terry’s family and friends. He touched the lives of many people at Letchworth Rugby Club and beyond, and he will be greatly missed.

El Prez

Edited: Please note the funeral and wake is Tuesday 9th June, not Monday 9th, as shared previously.
