🍻 MENS SOCIAL 🍻

After their memorial game yesterday our mens team headed out into Ripley for a team night out! Thank you to Mary-Lou’s Smokehouse & Craft Bar for feeding the lads before they went on to enjoy a few beers!

The lads have been grafting hard during pre season training and wanted to let their hair down before their league season starts in a few weeks.

Training and game days are only one part of rugby. The socials and team building off the pitch are what make rugby such a great sport! Without rugby most of our men’s players would never have met but by coming together at Amber Valley they’ve now made friends for life!

Our men’s squad train on Tuesdays & Thursdays 7-8:30pm so if you’re interested in seeing what it’s all about then grab a friend and come along! Absolutely no experience needed!

🏉 THINK WOMENS RUGBY ISN'T FOR YOU? THINK AGAIN. 🏉

Maybe you've played rugby before.
Maybe you played years ago and fancy coming back.
Maybe you've played another sport.
Or maybe you've never picked up a rugby ball in your life.
We want you 👊

Our women's team currently has players aged 21–50, and we're looking for more people to join us.

You don't need to be super-fit.
You don't need to know all the rules.
You don't need to be experienced.
You just need to be willing to have a go, laugh at yourself and meet a brilliant bunch of people.

🏉 COME AND GIVE RUGBY A GO

📅 Tuesday & Thursday
⏰ 7pm – 8:30pm (meet up at 6:45pm)
📍 Amber Valley Rugby Club, DE55 4NQ

No commitment. No pressure. Just come along and see what you think.
Bring a friend. We'll look after you.
Your next adventure might start with a rugby ball 💛🖤

🏉 PLAYER SPONSOR 🏉

We’re back with another players sponsor and next up is LeRoy Stratford! LeRoy has retained his sponsor from last season - ‘Budgeting Solutions Ltd’.

After a significant leg injury 2 years ago it’s great to see LeRoy on the pitch with the lads! His versatility to play in the forwards or backs makes him a true utility player for Valley!

Huge thank you to ‘Budgeting Solutions Ltd’ for supporting LeRoy and the club for the season!

Reminder that it’s just £25 to sponsor one of our players for the season! If you’re interested in supporting one of them just drop us a message!
