ROYAL FOREST RAIDERS Based:
Ruardean Hill Rugby Club and Valley Road Rugby Ground
Career record: record unknown
Colours: Red pants and white shirts
Website: No
Honours: None
Team notes: The Raiders lasted 2 seasons, from 87-88. They played 14 or 15 games in their 2 yr
existence, and the friendly local rivalry (2 wins, 1 tie, one loss) with the Cheltenham
Chieftains saw quite a few of their team join ranks with them in
the kitted ranks in '89. Highlights were winning their
first ever competitive fixture at the Frome Katanas, and a solid beating of the Ross
Wildcats in '88. We played (and lost heavily) to both the
Elm Park Eagles and Chelmsford Cherokee, but with a 33-2 scoreline against the latter, they were generally pretty happy with what they
achieved for a school formed team of about 15 friends. Some
of the players went on to win a College Bowl with Cambridge,
play for the Southern BNGL All star team and get selected to the GB Crusaders. |
