Today:

Throughout the club, Walsall Rugby Club's ideals reflect the RFU’s core values of Rugby, Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship. And recent market research has overwhelmingly shown that the club comes across as being warm and friendly, providing good quality rugby for all.

Whilst we are ambitious, we also have a strong family ethos, derived from a commitment to youth rugby for all age groups. Furthermore, the club continues to develop strong links with local charities.

Aspirations:

With membership and crowd attendances rising, we have ambitious plans to develop the infrastructure at the club, to include stadia enhancements. This will allow Walsall Rugby Club to firstly become a more integral part of the local community and also a destination venue providing sports and leisure facilities to a much wider audience.

On the pitch, the club’s ambition is to build on the progression seen both on and off the pitch into the new season. We are aiming for promotion in the coming years and seek to grow both our players and club. 

History:

1922 - Present

Walsall Rugby Football Club was established in 1922 when a group of “distinguished but moderate boozers” who drank at the Conservative club, decided it was time the town had a rugby club of it’s own. It wasn’t until 1932 that rugby became the school’s official winter sport, thus providing the club with a steady stream of old boy talent, which lasted for many years.

The original headquarters of the club was at the Wheatsheaf Inn and was moved to the Old Hart Inn whilst match day switched to Walsall baths. In 1931 the original playing pitch was needed for redevelopment and the club took a lease on its present ground. Despite three subsequent facelifts the original building is still there!

Since that time Walsall RFC have been more than lucky with the number of personalities that have been a part of our Club, on and off the field, which has seen the club prosper over the last 96 years.

The advent of the leagues and cups in the 1980's opened many doors for Walsall. Season 2006/07 saw Walsall relegated to Midlands 2 West after 6 seasons struggling to hold on to Midlands 1 status.
