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.

A big game on a big Saturday for the club.
All 3 team in action with tough games with lots on the line.
Last time out the 1st team lost at a new look Rossendale. 2 valuable points gained as we look to secure our safety for another seasons fun and games at National 2.
This week we face another team who have had a surge in form and look to pull off a great escape. Scunthorpe play a great brand of rugby and pushed Sheffield last week. They can mix it up with the pack and move the ball really well. A must win game.
The lions head up to Alnwick for a tough game but take up a brilliant young squad looking to cause an upset and score some points.
A massive weekend for the 3TM as the head to Horden to play for the 3rd team county cup again. A big effort getting there, lets hope it’s a competitive reflection of 3rd team rugby.
Add to that its ladies day. Always a brilliant day with bags of additional support.
A super Saturday in store, lets finish the job and have a few beers.

CAPTAIN'S CORNER

Three games left.
Every single point is critical.
This weekend’s home game against Scunthorpe couldn’t come at a bigger moment in our season. With just three games left, every single point is critical, and we know exactly what’s on the line.
Last week at Rossendale was a much-improved performance from the boys after two tough weeks against the Sheffield sides. It showed the response and character in the group but now it’s about building on that and delivering when it matters most, here at home.
We need the points, and we need your support to carry us over the line. It’s also Ladies Day, so hopefully it’s a day where the whole club can come together and celebrate, with a performance to match the occasion.
This league is unforgiving, and at this stage of the season, there’s no room for anything less than our best. The focus for us is putting together a full eighty-minute performance and making sure our actions match the standards we expect.
Scunthorpe at home is a huge opportunity. With two well-earned weeks off after this one, there’s no holding back. We need to empty the tank and give everything for the full eighty.
It comes down to sticking together, trusting what we do, and playing with pride in the badge.
Get down, get loud, and get behind us.
Let’s make this one count.

Billingham Rugby Club Launches Injured Players Benevolent Fund
Billingham Rugby Club Injured Players Benevolent Fund
This new initiative is designed to support players who are injured, providing assistance to those who need it most.
How will the fund build?
From March 22, 2025, the club introduced a change to its plastic glasses refund policy. Instead of offering refunds, £1 from the cost of the first glass will be donated to the Injured Players Benevolent Fund. Refills will remain free (drink charge still applicable), and customers can still return their cups as usual. This is just the first of several initiatives aimed at raising funds for the cause.
The club is excited to launch this initiative and thanks you for your continued support in helping us assist injured players.
