Dear Members, Supporters, and Friends of Lymm RFC,
As many of you will now be aware, Lymm RFC has been placed in National 2 West for the upcoming 2025/26 season. This news has come as a huge disappointment to everyone involved with the club, particularly due to the lack of clear communication from the RFU throughout the process.
For a village club like ours – run by volunteers, supported by generous sponsors, and powered by players who give their all for the love of the game – this represents one of the biggest logistical and financial challenges in our club’s history.
We’ve always taken great pride in being one of the highest-ranked amateur clubs in the country, a true reflection of our community. This decision now means our round-trip travel for the season will exceed 4,500 miles – a tough ask for any club, let alone one of our size.
We feel let down by the RFU, and we will continue to raise our concerns in the hope of securing additional support and fairer treatment for clubs like ours in the future.
That said, we remain incredibly proud of last season’s record-breaking performance, finishing 3rd in National 2 North, and we’re determined to face this new challenge head-on. We also look forward to visiting new clubs, forming new friendships, and flying the flag for Lymm with the same determination and spirit that’s always been our hallmark.
Thank you for standing with us – your continued support means more now than ever.
