Lets give them a warm welcome and show our support for Buxton. Bar open from 12.30. Should be a cracking game.

NEXT HOME GAME 23rd JANUARY 2010

Buxton 1st XV v Sheffield Tigers at Sunnyfields KO 2.15pm

At last the snow has gone and rugby is back. Come up and support the 1sts as they take on Sheffield Tigers. Bar will be open from 1.00pm

A Buxton XV 56 Sandbch 4 XV 0

A Buxton XV 56 Sandbach 4 XV 0

A cynic might call this the Gav and Howie show, as the two centres, years apart in age but working hand in glove in the mid field produced a clinical master class in centre play.

Buxton RUFC Statement

Regrettably it has been necessary for the First XV to resign from the South Lancs and Cheshire League 2. This decision has not been taken lightly but the Coaches and Senior players feel that with the unprecedented number of injuries to experienced players, and the loss of a number of senior players to other clubs, it is not possible to raise a First XV to compete at the level required in the league without putting younger and inexperienced players at risk. As a consequence of this decision the Seconds and Thirds have been excluded from the Miller Homes League under rule 20. It is hoped that where ever possible Buxton RUFC will be able to play the seconds and thirds the outstanding fixtures as friendlies. It is also intended to arrange friendly fixtures at an appropriate level for the 1st XV, with the intention of re entering the leagues next season at a level suited to the playing resources available. It is vital that we take this as an opportunity for the club, and to come out of this stronger with a better playing infrastructure in place. Training will still be on Monday and Thursday at 7.00pm up at the club, and we are still looking for new players whether they are experienced, new to the game or are returning after a few years off. As Saturday November 7th showed the club has a tremendous facility for players, social members and members of the community. We have a thriving and strong Mini and Junior set up, and the U17’s are top of their league and unbeaten so far this season. Over the next few years they will form the basis of the First XV so the future looks good.
