It is with deep sadness that we share the news that Jimmy Simpson, one of the Blaydon Rugby Football Club family has passed away

Jimmy was a long time playing member of the club, Jim was a more than competent scrum half and was a regular member of the infamous Bricks rugby team from its early inception. He subsequently moved into refereeing and continued to support the club.
Our thoughts at this time are with his family, RIP Jimmy, You will be greatly missed and long remembered by all who knew you!
Funeral details:
Peacefully at home on 7th October 2023 aged 85 years Jim. Greatly loved and missed. Husband of Elaine, Dad of Rebecca, Timothy and Elizabeth and Grandad of Katie.

Senior Squad Update

Senior Squad Update

As we continue to bolster our senior rugby infrastructure we are delighted to welcome Chris Stewart back in to the fold, Chris is a product of the Blaydon youth system and he has returned to where it all started to coach the Georgians.

Along side Chris is Steven Davidson, who is replacing the very big shoes Howie Gillfillan has left, to fill as team manager. Howie has stepped aside to focus on wearing his blazer on first team match days. The club would like to say a massive thank you to Howie for everything he has done to make sure the 2nd Team has been run so well over the last 15-20 years.

Sponsorship Opportunities for 2022/23 Season

Good Evening All,
In order to continue to thrive at all playing levels the Club needs to maximise its income in every way possible as the new Season commences in September.
Sponsorship plays an important part for us and a new programme of opportunities has been agreed which will benefit both the sponsor and the club. We believe we have a location and facilities which can raise the sponsor’s profile to a wide audience in many ways and improve the manner in which we have worked with them over previous years.
The full details of the numerous packages are detailed within the link below and we would ask that all members approach their friends and companies to see if they would wish to become part of our sponsors family this season.
Initial contact details are shown as contact@blaydonrfc.co.uk or as president@blaydonrfc.co.uk. Alternatively approach any member of the Executive Committee.
