 Farnborough RFC are raring to go for the new 2007/8 season. With the Rugby World Cup about to start, and renewed interest in the game from the general public, your local team are the one to watch. Having held their position in Hampshire 1 last season and runners-up in the Hampshire Plate the team are looking forward to the new challenge ahead.
Many of the players have been active competitively over the summer, not only in a few sevens games, but also in Rugby League. FRFC's first venture into the game, has been enormously successful with the Farnborough Falcons winning the Co-Op South Conference. The team has drawn from the League first team, the Colts as well as International and Lionheart players.
So, FRFC's first league Rugby Union match will be on September the 15th, when United Services Portsmouth visit Tile Barn Close for what will prove to be an enthralling game. US Portsmouth are always a strong and challenging side, drawing as they do from the best of the armed services. All are welcome to come to the grounds at Tile Barn Close at 2:30pm and cheer on the home team! This will be a great spectacle with two tough and fired-up teams.
Keith Boatman - FRFC's First team coach said "We have been preparing well for the new season, not only in terms of fitness, but with the technical aspects of the game. We have more coaching staff available to the players now and Marc Angell will captain the team as we start the new season. We have a tough start with US Porsmouth - but we are ready!"
FRFC are always looking for players (as well as social members and supporters) to join the active First, Second, Vets and Colts teams. In addition, FRFC has a thriving minis and junior section for those youngsters who want to become the next Jonny Wilkinson or Lawrence Dallaglio!
