St Brendan's Old Boys R.F.C. LTD  SBOB

The Chairman, Chris Groves has been working tirelessly to guarantee the continued success of the club by organising its expansion to over 250 players in 2008 with a waiting list in some ages. The success of the club can only be measured by the dedication of the coaches who give up their free time on Sundays mornings and week day evenings to coach the players, from minis to the First XV,  while ensuring all players enjoy their time in the field. It takes a lot of organising in the backroom to run a club which could not be done without  the support of the officers and coaches who have turned St Brendan's into one of the successes in Mini and Junior rugby coaching. St Brendan's is one of  the first clubs to support and organise a Minis and Junior Trophy Tournament, known as the Peter Pullin Trophy which is held every year.

We welcome all  to join St Brendan's Old Boys RFC, known affectionately as the Saints, a club with a great tradition in rugby, founded in 1929, boasting of England and Bristol caps among previous members,  and celebrate with us our 80th anniversary in 2009.

We look forward to seeing you at our home the Coombe Dingle Sports Complex

The First XV

St Brendan's Old Boys RFC has a strong and dedicated First XV captained by Luke Hartley They train Wednesday evenings and play their matches on Saturday afternoons. You can see the team and players profile in the heading First XV and the First XV highlights . They started their first game very strongly beating the Broad Plains 2nd XV by 72 to nil in a friendly match. The following week played their first league match against Pilning and once again won by 62 points to nil. The first XV has ended the season winning the league, winning all their matches. The club congratulates the whole team on winning promotion to league 2 after a great season!

The captain of the First XV welcomes you to visit St Brendan's Old Boys RFC, a club with ambition and dedication. Luke  looks forward to seeing you at our club grounds for the  start of the 2009-2010 season, Saturday afternoon matches (from 2.45pm) or meeting prospective players at the Wednesday evening coaching session from 7pm, for the new season starting September 2009 for either our first or second XV. All are welcome to come and watch the matches, as the rugby is exciting, it is free and afterwards you can talk to the players in the bar.

Mini and Junior Rugby

St Brendan's offers children from the first school year (aged 6) the opportunity to learn rugby and join a team of dedicated coaches in all age groups. It is not until the children reach the age of school year 4 they learn the art of contact. In those first few years, it is called tag rugby as the children wear a tag belt and to stop a player you just pull the tag. During these formative years they learn how to pass the ball, work as a team, respect the coaches, players and referees. Contact Tony Rigg for Junior Rugby.

Experience has shown when they reach year 4 they can not wait to start to play real rugby, although in a limited form. As years go by they become experienced players of rugby and have learnt the most important point, to work together as a team unit supporting each other.
The mini and junior teams train on Sunday mornings from 11am to 12.30 pm . The under 14 to 16s often do extra training on Wednesday evening under flood lights. Matches in the junior age groups are on Sunday mornings see the fixture list. The new season begins on the first Sunday in September.
