Calne Rugby Football Club Seniors section

If you’re thinking of renewing or restarting your lost rugby interest, jumping ship and joining a more local team, starting rugby for the first time, or have just turned 17, this section will give you a feel for Calne RFC before joining us for a training session one Thursday evening.


1XV

Calne Rugby Football Club operates a 1XV and a 2XV team in Dorset and Wiltshire North 1 and Dorset and Wiltshire North 3 respectively. Having 2 senior teams allows Calne RFC the opportunity for players of all abilities and ages to play rugby.

Our coaching staff is excellent and they will help you develop as a player and assist you reach your full potential. There is a good balance of games. Some will ease you into the action others will test you and some will push you to your limits.

Calne’s 1st XV is the flagship of our rugby club and the team has now established itself as one of the top teams in the Dorset & Wilts divisions. The league and two cup competitions are taken very seriously, so positions in the squad are always keenly contested. For more information, please visit our 1XV page.

Calne’s 2nd team is our social/development/veterans team. There is much less pressure and arguably a lot more fun for those who cannot commit to 1st XV rugby. For more information, please vist our 2XV page.

Our experienced coaching team run a well structured skills & drills session every Thursday's at 7.00pm for anyone over 17 years of age. Calne RFC also offers a fitness session once a week in which everyone is welcome, players, partners, etc. For more information, please visit our Training page.

Our Club Chairman gives you six good reasons why you should consider joining Calne RFC…

  • Clubhouse

    • We are very lucky to benefit from one of the best clubhouses in the county. We have the obligatory Pool table, some classy surroundings, a cheap bar, a small function room and a very family/partner friendly atmosphere. Did I mention cheap bar? If I didn’t the prices at our bar will be cheaper than your local pub and there’ll be plenty of Cider for all!!

      

  • Local Fixtures

    • The furthest league fixture, last season, was Westbury, so you can still get home in time for the Bill or Corrie! Or better still stay at the clubhouse for a bit of a social. So no more time consuming trips to the south coast.

  • Socialising

    • The post match activities speak for themselves! But have you ever thought of bringing the Mrs? Many players do and sure enough, they talk about shopping, make new friends and go off and do their own thing.

  • Coaching

    • At Calne RFC we believe that training regularly will yeild the best results on the pitch. Our Head Coach, Richard Kearney, is an ex-player who is greatly respected by the players and other local teams, mainly thanks to his outstanding ability and his non-compromising style of play.

  • Good Mix of Games

    • Dorset & Wilts 1 North is currently an ideal level for the club. There is a nice balance of testing fixtures and others ideally suited for blooding new/younger players. And when we have attracted enough new players onwards and upwards!

  • It is not just about the rugby

    • Got a dog? Like to Cycle? Play a bit of Golf? In to your camping? The club acts as the base for various non-rugby related activities. A number of player/members regularly get together to swing the irons about on a Sunday morning or fire up the BBQ camping somewhere on the coast and some can be seen wandering all over the county with their mutts in tow.
