Get ready to celebrate 100 years of Chester RUFC! The countdown is on for next season, our Centenary year, and the club is gearing up for a season to remember.

A dedicated committee comprised of Steve (Chair), Pete Craven, Tim Carty, Sean Green, Gemma Morton and Dan Huxley, have been busy planning a year of events to commemorate and celebrate this incredible milestone.
Here's a taste of what's to come:

Celebrate in Style:

  • Centenary Ball & Sportsman's Lunch: Join us for a black-tie gala on May 17th, 2025, preceded by a Sportsman's Lunch on May 16th. Tickets go on sale next season, so stay tuned for details!
  • M&J Birthday Party: The M&Js will kick off the season with a fun-filled party for the whole family at our first home game.
  • Past Players Game: Relive the glory days! Witness our past players take on a team from Looseheadz, one of our chosen charities, on May 9th, 2025.

Commemorative Keepsakes:

  • Centenary Blazers: Show your club pride! Order your limited-edition Centenary Blazer (Men's & Women's) before the first batch closes at a discounted price. Contact Tim Carty at Tim.carty@icloud.com
  • Centenary Kit: The 1st XV will proudly sport a new kit reflecting the club's original colours. Additionally, a centenary range of hoodies, polos, and t-shirts will be available online, allowing everyone to own a piece of history.
  • History of Chester RFC Book: John Craven's book is being meticulously updated by Mike Dangerfield to encompass the club's entire centenary journey.
  • Centenary Ale: Raise a glass to 100 years! Weetwood Brewery is crafting a special Centenary Ale in our honour. Stay tuned for tasting updates – our committee might just have the toughest job of the season!

This is just a glimpse of the exciting events planned. We want everyone at Chester RUFC to be part of this momentous occasion. Let's make it a centenary season we'll never forget!
