Winscombe R.F.C.
Winscombe RFC is an English amateur rugby club that is based in the village of Winscombe. They play in the Tribute Somerset Premier league. For a small Somerset village the club is large, with three senior teams and over 400 children registered to play at mini and junior level.
Founded in 1962, Winscombe Rugby Football Club is one of the newest clubs in the south-west of England. They play at the Winscombe War Memorial Recreation Ground, also known as ''the Rec''.
== History ==
The club was founded in 1962 by Dai Davies, Taff Watham, Pete Smart, J.A. Jacobs and C.W. Reid,〔''The Jubilee Years; The History of the First 25 Years of Winscombe Rugby Football Club'', Ed. Averis, E., Clevedon Printing Company, 1987, p5.〕 initially with only one team. Originally the club played on Home Field, Woodborough Farm, now known as the Lynch Field, and would change up the road in a lean-to building constructed behind what was then called the Woodborough Hotel (now the Woodborough Inn). Only one wall of that building now remains, from the showers, and forms the lower wall of the car park behind the pub. The first game took place on 10 November 1963 against a representative XV from Clifton Rugby Football Club, with Winscombe winning by 26 to 12.〔 The club's first try-scorer, Steve Bridges, eventually went on to become a long serving president, only retiring in 2010. A 2nd XV was added in 1963, and the 3rd XV played its first match in 1967.〔
In 1968 the club moved to Winscombe War Memorial Ground (), using a field leased from Sidcot School, now known as the Longfield pitches. They share the clubhouse with Winscombe cricket, hockey and football clubs. In 2000 the club bought land for two additional pitches, and in 2007 these were named the Blomfield Pitches, in memory of the club's late treasurer, George Blomfield, who had campaigned tirelessly to raise money for the purchase. Further development of the club's facilities continues, with the latest stage being the floodlighting of the main Longfield pitch.
