Ruskin Park Rugby Football Club Details
Ruskin Park RFC was formed in 1954, under the name of St Helens Recs, by a group of Rugby enthusiasts at Pilkington Glass, and membership of the club was initially limited to employees of the company. This was soon rescinded and the club welcomed all players to its ranks, which resulted in the club being very successful both on the field and off it.The first two presidents of the club were Lord Pilkington and Lord Cozens Hardy which was quite and auspicious beginning for a small club.The club changed its name to Ruskin Park in the 1970's to avoid confusion the many other sides in the region with a similar name, but continued to attract other players from the area.The introduction of league rugby brought further success to the club and they were crowned champions of South/Lancs Cheshire league in 1993, and finished top of South/Lancs Cheshire League in 2003, and South Lancs Cheshire League in 2006 completing a League and cup double that year with success in the Lancashire Plate.Ruskin is a club which prides itself on its amateur status and has hence had some ups and downs in recent years with some quality players moving to pastures new for payment. The club wishes these players well, and will make strides to continue to recruit the best players to the club.Ruskin currently has two sides but will try and raise this to three in future years. The club faces each year a difficult tasks with two strong Rugby Union sides in the town and around 18 Rugby League sides, however, the committee and members will continue as best they can to uphold the traditions and values of the club hopefully for many years to come.
