Fri, May

Following government advice today, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) will suspend all rugby activity in England, at both professional and community level, including club training, league and cup matches plus rugby education courses from 17 March until 14 April subject to continued review.
 
The decision has been taken following government advice in the interests of players, coaches, referees, volunteers, supporters and the wider rugby union community.  
 
Where possible, players at all levels are encouraged to maintain their own personal fitness and keep active during this time, while following government guidelines about safe distance and safe exercise environments.
 
The RFU will continue to review and monitor government advice and will provide detailed updates on the impact to the season in the coming weeks.

Roger Woolley receiving an engraved tankard from LSRUR President, Kerrel Wills, at the recent members meeting.

Roger has recently stepped down from the role of LSRUR Quartermaster, after almost 40 years service; a quite remarkable feat.

Well done Roger and we hope that you can now enjoy meetings, without having to carry large bags of kit around; a huge thank you for all those years service, from all members of LSRUR.

At short notice the RFU asked the Society to provide a Team of 3 for the Leicester Academy versus Saracens Academy played at Oakham School on Saturday 18th January. The Tigers won a very tight match by 2 points.

On Friday afternoon we finally got a set of Match Officials together with Duncan Chandler refereeing and Nick Houghton and Kerrel Wills as AR's.
