Welcome to the Club's home page

Lowestoft and Yarmouth Rugby Club is the most easterly club in the United Kingdom.
The Club runs four senior sides and youth teams of all ages from mini's to under 17's.

Our Rugby is played at Gunton Park, a very picturesque, nine acre site purchased by some of our older Vice Presidents in 1960. We welcome new players and spectators alike.

Barman dies

George Aylott (1924-2009)

I am sure that many of you will already know but for those that do not it is with sadness that I have to annouce that George our long serving barman at the club died suddenly at home on the 9th June 2009.

George’s funeral took place at the Belton Church on the 23rd June and he now rests in the Belton Burial Grounds.

Amazingly George was survived by 2 brothers and 2 sisters, and he had one daughter. The Club's condolences go out to all his family.

I hope everyone has enjoyed a few weeks of peace and relaxation and , for those that don't know , we have been running two sessions a week throughout May & June specifically concentrating on ball handling and fitness.
