Burntwood RUFC History

Burntwood Rugby Club  was established in 1972 and their first home was The Drill Inn at Springle Stych Lane. The club had been nomadic for many years and their clubhouse venues have changed frequently which included The White Lion on Queen Street, upstairs of the wool shop in Chasetown High Street, Chasetown Football Club, and Chasetown Working Mans Club until they settled on the Northshore at Chasewater at the top of Church Street. Here they found the perfect grounds to establish what has been a great success for the club and community. The original clubhouse at Northshore was nothing more than a converted mobile classroom, affectionately know as "The Shed".

Many thanks to Norman Leyshon who sent us cuttings of match reports from right back when the club was founded.
