   Well Cumbria came unstuck in the semi-final against Surrey.They went down 37 -20. A fast game but even when Surrey were reduced to 13 players Cumbria failed to take the initiative and could not press home the advantage.

   Our own Corne Els continued with the County side when they defeated Notts, Lincs and Derby at Mansfield by  44 points to 29.

Friday 5th August

  Well thanks to the local thieves Furness Rugby Club is doing it’s bit to be eco friendly and reduce its carbon footprint. The roofer arrived to rectify some minor faults when he noticed that all of the lead flashing had been removed from the clubhouse, not only that a lot of tiles have been damaged in the process, leaving the Clubhouse very vulnerable to the elements. Its not just the inconvenience but the cost to replace the missing flashing and rectify the damage, a quick guess could be in the region of £4000, an expense we could have done without, but the police did say that it is the up and coming crime in the area. Obviously if any of our members hear any whispers please pass it on to the police

       How to find us.

Furness Rugby Union Football Club was founded in 1902 and is one of only two Rugby Union Teams in Barrow in Furness. Even though we have a large ground it is not one of the easiest to find:-

      Follow the A590 to Barrow, after passing the Golf Course on the right, take the first left on the roundabout and follow the sign for Furness Abbey, take the second exit on the next mini roundabout, follow the road past the Hospital, which is on the right, continue for a further half a mile (you are now on Abbey Road). Look for a standard Post box on the left (Ostley House on the right) and turn there into Croslands Park Road, continue for a further 200 yards and turn right along side a bungalow down a narrow driveway. This is the entrance to The Strawberry Grounds.

 The Club itself is entirely self supporting and depends on the Income from its members over the Clubhouse bar and sponsors to keep our Teams operating.

   If you wish to become a member of the club, either a player supporter or Social member do not hesitate to turn up or contact any of the telephone numbers or email address on this web site.
