Giving grass-roots rugby the love that it deserves...

CLEVEDON RFC

WHAT'S THE club called? Clevedon RFC, but you can call them 'the Seasiders'.

I guess that's because they're on the coast? Correct.

Home is the Coleridge Vale Playing Fields in Clevedon, North Somerset, a 20-minute walk from the beach.

When and how did the club start? A solicitor, local businessman, blacksmith and engine driver walked into a bar. No, quite literally. In 1921, they got together and started the club on Salthouse Fields, having their post-match baths in the basement of the Royal Pier hotel. The pitch would always flood, so in 1959 they relocated to Coleridge Vale having bought the pavilion from Hales Cakes.
