Anyone else thinking I'd love a normal weekend with some rugby, a chat and laugh with others, maybe a few too many beers with friends?

Very angry to hear that our clubhouse has been broken into yet again. Wish these mindless idiots would just leave us alone. Go and get a bloody life and stop spoiling ours.

Sadly last orders have been called at Peel Croft, but with no one allowed to enjoy the moment in history. It's a sad week as we pack up the Croft and say goodbye to our beloved home for many years.
Onwards and upwards as we take our memories with us in our hearts and minds x

On Monday 5th October we celebrate 150 years of rugby in Burton upon Trent. But COVID-19 has put paid to any celebrations. We will celebrate in style when the world allows it. So until then, stay home, stay safe and raise a glass or two of whatever your tipple might be 🍻🍷🥂🍹🍺

Where it all began on October 5th 1870. I wonder what they would think of Battlestead Croft and how much Burton RFC has grown in those years?

Not the best day for our club, we were broken into last night and then this afternoon some rather unpleasant individuals have set fire to the stand. Photos on Facebook, let's find them!

What an absolutely fantastic day we had at our one last game for the over 45s on Peel Croft yesterday. 69 players took part in what can only be described as a unique display of champagne rugby. The crowd enjoyed what they saw, just a superb day out!

Thanks to all that contributed to our food drive campaign. We are truly grateful for your support and know this will go a long way within our community. COVID-19 is making life difficult for us all, however we are proving that we are more than just a rugby club.

Tony Williams and Rob Ridley. Today marked the 43rd season they have played rugby together, having starting their rugby journey many years ago at the age of 8. What an achievement, will they make it 44?

Shocked to hear the news that Hugh Waddell has sadly passed away. A fine player of both codes of the game, but achieving huge success in rugby league. He will be greatly missed by many.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends at this very sad and difficult time.

Thinking of the Williams Family this morning as they prepare to say farewell to Jamie. Although we can't be with them today to celebrate his life, we know that everyone at Peel Croft has them in their thoughts and prayers on this difficult and sad day.
Rest in peace Jamie x

As we all take time to think of all who have served in the armed forces past, present and in the future. We remember those members of our Club who made the ultimate sacrifice. Our memorials are being well looked after until they join us at their new home.
