Home of Rugby on Canvey Island
Welcome to season 2008/9
and the Canvey Island Rugby Union Football Club web site.
Steve Clarke
Chairman
Affiliated to the RFU and Essex Rugby Football Union, we provide senior and youth rugby in the Canvey Island , Benfleet and Castle Point areas. Be it social or playing, you'll find a warm reception (and cheap beer!) from our many helpers and members. Please feel free to browse the site.
With the 07/08 season being very testing for our new coaches and players alike we have survived in London 4 North East. The coaches and players are looking to improve the performances on last season.
The club was formed in 1970 and has, become an established club within Essex and the London Leagues. We are the only rugby club in the Castle Point District Although most of the players are from the local area we are always on the look out for players running three senior sides and a vet's team we can cater for all standards.
After a successful season our mini and youth section has become stronger under the watchful eye of the Youth Chairman Tony Leeming and his many helpers (A big thanks to them). We are now running several sides. And are always looking for more young players we would still welcome more help from Parents and ex players to help bring on the potential that we have. If this is not what you're looking for there is always the use of the facilities within the club. Why not come along and see us in person.
With help from the members and sponsors the club house has undergone a total revamp with new décor, televisions and new furniture it has become a very welcoming environment to be in The club house is ours and use it to great effect for social functions (check out our events section) and after game socialising, of which many opposition teams have commended us on.
