Matchday Sponsor
We’re very pleased to welcome Stephensons as this week’s match day sponsor.
Stephensons is a family-owned catering equipment and supplies business with strong roots in the Northwest, supplying everything from glassware, tableware and kitchen essentials through to cleaning products, disposables and commercial catering equipment.
Rugby has always been particularly close to Stephensons’ heart. Their connection with the game, and with Lymm Rugby Club, is especially strong through the late Julian Lewis-Booth, who many people here at the club will remember with great affection. Stephensons are therefore especially proud to sponsor Lymm today, but their support for the game doesn’t stop at the final whistle!!

President’s Welcome
Dear Members, Guests, Sponsors and Friends of Lymm Rugby Club,
Welcome to Cinderford RFC: This weekend we welcome Cinderford RFC to Beechwood, for our 3rd encounter in the National 2 West league. Cinderford, who have a long history in English Rugby and were formed in 1883, travel up from the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire in a confident mood, having beaten Redruth at home last weekend with an 80th minute converted try. Cinderford are 2 league places and 4 league points ahead of Lymm, so another epic game is on the cards.
I am looking forward to welcoming Martyn Walby, Cinderford Chairman, and his fellow Cinderford Exec members and supporters to Lymm. We do hope you enjoy your time at Beechwood.
Our last run out: Lymm produced another outstanding first half performance last Saturday against a Hinckley side that must fancy themselves as promotion candidates, if not title contenders. Unfortunately, with the home side upping their game in the second half, Lymm were unable to maintain their challenge, and the game gradually slipped away from them.
Nevertheless, there were signs that Lymm can compete with the best in this league, but they need to maintain their intensity for longer periods of the game, and to do it week in week out.
An excellent match report by Cormac Nolan can be read on the club website via the following link;

Results for our other senior teams last weekend are as follows:
Lymm 2nd XV suffered defeat, going down 66-12 at home to a very good Chester 2nd XV side.
Lymm Eagles had a home walkover against Dukinfield 2nd XV. This being the second time that
Dukinfield have conceded a game so far this season!
This week’s matches: on Saturday, there is a feast of rugby on show at Beechwood, with four teams playing at home. In addition to our 1st XV match against Cinderford we have;
Lymm 2nd XV host Macclesfield 2nd XV
Lymm Eagles are in cup action against New Brighton 2nd XV
Cinderford Vets are travelling up with their first team to play Lymm Vets (Lymm Reapers) in a curtain raiser for the first team game. Kick off for that game is 12.30pm.
Good luck and my best wishes to all Lymm teams this weekend – you are a tremendous group of players who are maintaining the pride and aspirations of our great club that has been developed over many years. Keep it going!!!
On behalf of everyone at Lymm Rugby Club, a big thank our matchday sponsors, Stephensons for their support today and their continued support of rugby.”
