Many thanks to all those who have been involved in playing, coaching, organising, volunteering and supporting for Clifton this year. Thanks also go to our generous sponsors for their continued support and those who work to ensure the club can function on a daily basis. It has been a long season with a tremendous amount of hard work but that has paid off with a huge amount of rugby played and enjoyed and some impressive results. This review highlights the good bits.
Clifton is proud to be part of the rugby community offering people of all ages the chance to play the fantastic game of rugby union and develop their game to the highest level.

Clifton provides rugby from 6 to 17 year olds in our Junior and Mini’s section whilst our senior section provides a Colts team, and four men’s team who can accommodate social players through to those who want to prove themselves at a national standard. At first and second team level we set very high targets for ourselves - as we must considering we are competing against famous teams across the country such as Richmond, Henley and Redruth (and of course local rivals Dings).
