Dowty Rugby Football Club The Official page of Dowty Rugby Football Club Welcome to the Official page of Dowty RFC.

Here we will post information about training, forthcoming matches and match reports of past games via Pitchero. If you know anyone who is keen to start playing rugby, or indeed pull on their boots again after a bit of time away from the game, come down to our regular training sessions, or write on the wall of this page. We train at Longlevens RFC on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, starting at 7pm.

The theme for today's is sporting archives! Here is a photograph of the Rotol Rugby 7s team in the 1950s, which has just been donated to the archive. Do you know any of these men? We have a few names already but it would be great to know them all :)

All,

I had a call from the Local Answer today. They were asking about the club and if we had folded. So I would like to clarify.

We have not folded. Nor have we withdrawn from the Gloucester Combination. As it stands we have withdrawn from the Reserve Leagues because it was not fair to try and fulfill fixtures.

Now lets put the record straight. Are we struggling yes. Are we ready to pack up? No, at least not in my opinion. That said we need help. If we don't find new players, then the club is done. Rugby clubs play rugby, simple.

Thats where you can all help. Yes as a Committee we need to be doing more, and finding solutions. And I will work on that.

But as players/members/supporters you have a role to fulfill too. If you want us to keep going, we all need to have ideas and find players.

I don't want the club to limp on and have its legacy spoiled as it wimpers, we can pull the club back, but we are approaching make or break time, so start thinking on things we can do, to get us back playing.

Russ Brookes
Club Secretary
