The Teams of CIRUFC
Senior
We currently run 3 regular mens sides, the 1st XV, the Stacks and the Gnus. We occasionally manage to get a 4th XV out, but not enough to get regular fixtures. Our sides range from the more dedicated 1st XV to the much more relaxed and social 3rd team - the Gnus. What ever your ability, you will be more than welcomed.
Training nights are held every Monday and Wednesday nights - 7:15pm start. Mondays is fitness training, Wednesdays are ball skilss and game play. General fitness training is done on an individual basis although many of the guys work out as a group. Team Selections will be carried out on the Wednesday night, with the relevant sides pinned up on the club noticeboard, and posted onto the Club website.
Anybody 'crying off' should let their skipper know as soon as possible, so a replacement can be found. Don't leave it to the last minute either...... that's just bad manners ! Fines for lateness on Matchdays, and incorrect dress code will be in force, with all monies going towards the Club's "End of Season Tour". For this years fees please see the membership section.
If you require any further information about playing rugby for us, please email info@cirufc.co.uk .
Youth
It's fair to say that the Youth section has seen better times at Canvey. However, things are changing. With our Chairman Tony Leeming at the healm and with the superb support of Lee Slater and Danny Horton our youth section has managed to keep ticking over through some difficult times.
The past has seen many youth players from Canvey go on to play at County and higher levels. In fact some Canvey players still do play for the County. Canvey has some excellent young, and very talented rugby players. It's nice to see us building this section back up to it's full potential.
We now have 2 youth teams and numbers are increasing all the time. With this said we always welcome new members and are always on the look out for more volunteers. Training for the Under 13's will be held on Thursdays evenings at 6:30pm by Allen Evans. Training for the Under 16's age groups is every Wednesday at 5:45pm.
