Richie, the organiser behind Sedgley Park Rugby Club, wanted to share a personal note with the sports community. Located in Manchester, Sedgley Park Rugby Club is a cornerstone of local rugby with deep community roots.
Richie is keen to emphasise that Sedgley Park isn't just about the sport; it's about the people. Established in the late seventies, the club has carved out a name for itself with its competitive teams and dedication to player growth. The Senior First XV team competes regionally, while the youth programme nurtures young talent and fosters a passion for rugby.
Based at Park Lane in Whitefield, Sedgley Park’s facilities are top-notch, serving players, supporters, and guests. The clubhouse is a bustling hub for socialising, post-match celebrations, and various community events. Richie believes it’s the perfect spot for both players and supporters to revel in the spirit of rugby.
Richie is also excited about the range of events that Sedgley Park hosts. The annual Legends Game at Christmas is a highlight, where past players and supporters enjoy an afternoon of rugby and festive cheer. Another crowd-pleaser is the Adult Pantomime, "Peter Pants," showcasing the club’s humour and love for theatre.
For those wanting to support or represent the club, Richie mentions that Sedgley Park’s clothing shop offers a variety of merchandise—from eco-friendly tech wear to heritage-inspired apparel.
Richie and the Sedgley Park Rugby Club extend an open invitation to all rugby enthusiasts, whether players or fans, to join this vibrant community. Committed to nurturing talent, promoting sportsmanship, and creating a welcoming environment, Sedgley Park is more than just a rugby club; it’s a place where lifelong friendships are built and memories are made.
