Hello and welcome to Cheltenham North RFC in the 21st century and its official website. Hopefully these pages will give you a small insite into one of the oldest and most traditional sports clubs in Cheltenham. The North over many cold winters and through the folklore of many fiery encounters has etched its name firmly into the history of the local game. Although nowadays very professional in its approach to the modern era the club has held onto many of the traditions of its amatuer days. The annual "Players Night" for those who can remember it, is proof in the very alcoholic pudding of those traditions.

 

More seriously the North 1st XV are now competing for promotion in Western Counties North under the leadership combination of head coach Steve Collins, forwards coach Nick Townsend and 1stXV captain Robert Hughes. With their enthusiasm and dedication it is only a matter of time before the very vocal faithful at Stoke Orchard Road will enjoy many more cup victories and promotions which have been a regular fixture in the history of the club since its formation in 1906. The club run a 2ndXV aptly lead by Julian Cresswell and Adge Wakefield, who play in the very competitive local merit league and also the more social 3rdXV and Vets providing rugby for the whole spectrum of players.

 

The jewel in the Norths crown is it excellent facilities at Stoke Orchard Road, which it is rumoured will be extended in the near future. It boasts one the finest pitches in the county lovingly prepared by the trio of volunteers Gary Wakefield, Jack Wood and the famous Froggy Jones. The purpose built clubhouse along with its first class changing facilities has a superbly stocked bar expertly manned by the lovely Kim Cresswell and bar managers Adge Wakefield and Garthy Scourfield. Ofcourse a visit to the North would not be complete without sampling Babs' after match cuisine!!! As an amatuer club the work on the ground and around the clubhouse is provided totally volutarily by these individuals (and many more), furthermore it would be impossible to runs such a busy and succesfull club without the the efforts of these people. Due to it excellent facilities and low bar prices the clubhouse proves a superb venue for parties and functions of all types for more info please contact Adge or Garthy on Tuedays and Thursdays from 7pm or Saturdays from Midday.
