Portadown Rugby Football Club Wednesday 4 September 1963 has gone down in the annals of Portadown Rugby Club’s history.

In February 1879, the Irish Rugby Football Union was formed, and listed Poratadown as an affiliated club, with Thomas John (TJ) Collen as the honorary secretary. Several hundred spectators turned up to see the local side take on Ulster in the first match on Chambers Park, the towns magnificent new playing fields on the Lurgan Road. 1979 saw the club celebrate it’s centenary year, and saw the election of international player, Charlie Murtagh as club captain. Onwards and upwards

Throughout the years, Portadown Rugby Club has remained a bastion of normality and civility through all the trying social and political circumstances, which have been a blemish on our society. Regardless of colour, race or creed, Portadown RFC has promoted friendship, fair play and competition among our players, local community and peers. It is our aim to continue to promote this spirit and strive for improvement long into the new millennium.

CHAMBERS PARK | MORE THAN JUST A RUGBY CLUB

Well, we decided to go right back to where it all began…

Since 1963, Chambers Park has been the place Portadown Rugby Football Club calls home.

Named after former Club Captain Jimmy Chambers, the grounds officially opened on 4th September 1963, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the club’s history.

Over the past 63 years, the buildings have changed, the pitches have seen countless matches, and generations of players have proudly pulled on the blue jersey.

But Chambers Park has always been so much more than just a place to play rugby.

It’s where lifelong friendships have been made, where families have grown up on the sidelines, where victories have been celebrated and defeats have been shared. It’s where generations have come together, creating memories that stay with us long after the final whistle.

For some, it’s where they played their very first game. For others, it’s where they watched their children and grandchildren follow in their footsteps. And for many, it’s a place filled with memories of friends and familiar faces who are sadly no longer with us, but whose contributions will never be forgotten.

The faces may change, the years may pass, but the heart of this club remains the same.

These photographs aren’t just a reminder of how much Chambers Park has changed. They’re a reminder of everyone who has helped make it what it is today.

More than 60 years of history. Generations of memories. One club. One family.

Here’s to those who came before us, those who are part of it today, and those who will carry the blue into the future.

Chambers Park. Our home, our history, our family.

MOVEMBER HAS ARRIVED AT PORTADOWN RFC!

The razors are out, the faces are freshly shaved, and the moustaches are officially on their way!

A few of our Men’s Senior Squad are taking on MOVEMBER this November, growing their best (or possibly worst! 😂) moustaches to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health.

Movember supports important causes including mental health and su***de prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

It’s all for a fantastic cause, and we’re calling on the entire Portadown RFC family to get behind the lads and show their support!

💰 EVERY DONATION COUNTS!

Whether it’s a little or a lot, every contribution helps make a difference.

👇 SUPPORT THE LADS AND DONATE HERE:

Keep an eye on our socials throughout November as we follow the lads’ moustache-growing progress! 👀

New month. New moustaches. Great cause.

MAN OF THE MATCH | ANDREW MORRISON

What a performance from Andrew Morrison!

An absolute powerhouse on the pitch in yesterdays match against Limavady, Andrew was a force to be reckoned with! From his powerful carries, breaking through tackles and making valuable metres, to his excellent support play and assists that helped create attacking opportunities, he was right at the heart of the action!

A fantastic all-round performance, showing real strength, determination and commitment from start to finish. A thoroughly deserved Man of the Match award! Andrew is pictured alongside Club President, Phil Spragg.
