Following the unexpected end to the regular season due to the Corona Virus (COVID19) pandemic not all has been doom and gloom at Frome RFC, with lots to celebrate.

The Frome RFC 1st XV, having had a fantastic season were promoted. This will see the club playing at level 6 which it's only done so a few times before. The league structures were announced by the RFU and Director of Rugby, Cameron Hastie had these comments:

"It 's with great pleasure that the Club can announce the new league in which Frome RFC 1st XV will complete in next season.

South West 1 (East) will see the team go up against some formidable opposition, however, the Coaches, under the watchful eye of Toby Culff and the players have all worked extremely hard and have shown that they have earned the right to be promoted, and play at a higher level.

The promotion to South West 1 (East) brings with it a much needed change in opposition and will see the team travel to locations such as Bracknell, Newbury and Windsor, we hope we can attract and maintain the loyal supporters of Frome RFC to travel and share in our success and have fun along the way. On behalf of the club I'd like to thank you all for you loyalty and continued support, it's very much appreciated.

To the players, all the players, we have worked hard to get to where we are, let's continue to do so, this is not just a club effort but very much a personal effort with buckets of commitment. Let's write history in the lines of the club, promotion to level 6 and remain and set our goals higher.

As Director of Rugby, I have so much pride, not just in the appointment but as a player, pride in the way our club do business, in the way players display the code of practice and the way in which members pull together as a family, we should all be very proud. Club means more to me than just an organisation, it's:

Commitment

Loyalty

Understanding others needs

Being there for each other

Finally, I would like to thank the committee for their continued support and all the back ground staff for their efforts, that often goes unnoticed.

Now let's go forward together as a club, and let's show this new league what Frome RFC are made of, thank you."

The announcement of next seasons league structure also include our 2nd XV who will continue in Dorset & Wilts 1 North, who secured a well earned mid table spot following promotion and our 3rd XV who remain in Somerset 3 South.

At Frome RFC we are always on the look out for new players and have teams at every level from our U6's to Academy, and three senior men's teams.

We have one of the largest Mini & Junior sections locally boasting multiple pitches, large changing rooms facilities, physio room, and large clubhouse with event rooms. So if you're an experienced player who's moved into the area or just someone who fancies giving rugby a go you'll find us a welcoming club for all levels of ability.

The Club spirit at Frome RFC remains high and a recent announcement by Director of Rugby, Cameron Hastie that due to the massive generosity of club members, Frome RFC have managed to raise a whopping £2,340 in support of our NHS, from the sales the new Frome RFC NHS T-Shirts.
