Club President's Welcome
JOHN KER
CLUB PRESIDENT
It's my pleasure to welcome all today's visitors to Billingham Rugby Club.
Whether you are a player, a committee representative or a loyal fan we give you whole hearted greetings. We shall endeavour to treat you well both on and off the pitch, regardless of the final outcome of the game.
As we enter our 102nd season, after over twenty years at Greenwood Road plus eight years with the AGP we are going from strength to strength. Junior and mini numbers remain high with girls as well as boys making Sundays a constant whirl of activity.
Actually I am still recovering from the final game of last season when the bonus point gained secured our place in this league. For twenty minutes we played scintillating rugby and quite frankly we were unstoppable. Of course the reward is to do it all again for a third season; at least we know what to expect, playing at Level Four in a professional league.
Each year I show my appreciation and thanks to the strong leadership, both on the field and off it. We are very proud of all our many volunteers who help keep the club moving forward. That includes all the managers and coaches in the Youth Section who are all volunteers too.
It's difficult in a one-off piece to react to weekly events, however Chairman Mark Armstrong and DoR Peter Evans do change their contributions game by game, so a special thanks to both.
In conclusion, after two hard seasons we are still up for the fight. A third season at this level does not daunt us and we still hope to establish ourselves permanently in NATIONAL 2 NORTH.

One Last Push
As we head into our final game of the season against Preston, there’s a real sense of purpose around the group.
Last week against Tynedale, we know we didn’t hit the standards we’ve set for ourselves, and that’s something we’ve been honest about as a squad. This weekend gives us the perfect opportunity to respond and put that right.It’s the last chance this season to represent the badge at home, and it’s important we see the year out in the right way.
We want to deliver a performance full of energy, intent, and quality and one that reflects how far we’ve come and gives everyone something to cheer about.This season has been a special one for the club.
To be in a position where we’ve achieved the most wins, the most points, and the highest finish in the club’s history is something everyone involved should be proud of. That doesn’t happen without the effort and commitment from the players and coaches but just as importantly, it doesn’t happen without the support we’ve had from the stands.
To our fans, thank you. Through thick and thin, home and away, you’ve backed us every step of the way. Your support has driven us on in big moments and helped create something special this season. We don’t take that for granted, and we’re determined to repay that support with a strong finish.
Preston will provide a tough test, but it’s one we’re ready for. It’s about putting in a complete performance, sticking to our standards, and finishing the season with pride.Let’s give it everything one last time and end the season in style together.
