The Club was founded on 4th January 1962 and was the creation of three men, John Roden, now sadly deceased, Ernie Mills, now living in Yorkshire and Bill Wright, who became an Essex Alderman, but who is also deceased. In its first full year 1962/63 the Club fielded two senior teams and a colts side. The club was fortunate to find Rocheway School with no occupants and thus immediately had fine pitches and excellent changing facilities. Additionally The Horse and Groom PH in Rochford had a separate club room which just suited a rugby club. The club colours have always been black shirts and shorts due more to the economies of the early days than any other reason. |
