## From the administrators' statement

Worcester Rugby Football Club (“the Club”) dates back to 1871 when it was formed by the cleric Reverend Francis John Eld. The first recorded game of rugby football took place on 8 November 1871 against the Worcester Artillery at Somerset Place.

In 1893 the Club moved to Pitchcroft at New Road and a field adjoining Worcestershire County Cricket Club. Unfortunately, the club was disbanded in 1896. In 1908 the Club was revived and played matches at Pitchcroft and Northwick with the last game before the onset of World War | being played in 1913 against the Gloucester. Franciscans.

The Club was reformed following the end of World War | with a number of new players being recruited from Malvern, Droitwich, Pershore and Bromyard which resulted in the creation of the A and B teams. The Club continued to grow during the 1920s, playing in the traditional colours of narrow band yellow on blue.
