MAY & BAKER R.U.F.C

Welcome to the May and Baker Rugby Football Club Web site

It was in the 1950/51 season under the inspiration of George Crosby that the May & Baker Rugby Club was founded and constituted as a member of the Rugby Football Union. The first season began with a full first XV fixture list of 27 matches, which has been continued in each of the subsequent 56 seasons!

In the early days the club was primarily intended for the employees of May & Baker Ltd., now
Sanofi-Aventis, but there were always a few non-employees.

Nowadays the club is a totally open club and anyone who wishes to play enjoyable rugby is welcome whether he works for Sanofi-Aventis or not.

The Club has developed a strong tradition of Easter tours that have come a long way from the Southend Easter Festivals of the 1960's. Social events of the club, like the reunion dinner and the dinner and dance, continue the traditions of the past with many former players making welcome returns.

If you are new or returning to Rugby you will find all the strong values associated with a rugby club here. If you would like to know more about training and playing click here or call Richie Paul on 07919 051330 or Andy Yarrow on 07783 109128
