Chairman's Foreword
Major General RL Kirkland CBE
As
the Army Rugby Union moves into its 103rd Season, I am delighted
to be able to report that we are playing as much competitive and
representative rugby as ever. Despite extremely demanding operational
commitments 60 teams entered last year's Community and Premiership
Cup Competitions. It is through a great deal of hard work and dedication
from our volunteers across the Army that provides the opportunity
for our men and women to play rugby and I and the ARU Management
Board are extremely grateful to them. The Corps Championship grows
in strength and quality and provides a steady stream of talent to
our representative teams.
56,000 watched the Army team retain the Inter Services Trophy with our eight consecutive 'Grand Slam'. Similarly our Women's Senior XV have not only dominated the Inter Services Competition, but having defeated the NZ Army (over there!) they claim international bragging rights. Last season our U23 showed that there is plenty of potential coming through when they beat both Royal Navy and Royal Air Force to take the Inter Service Championship.
Organisationaly the ARU has tried to keep pace with the ever changing environment within the Army and our game. I would like to thank everyone who gives so much to develop and expand rugby throughout the Army.
