"Post War Yarnbury RFC"

A review of Yarnbury (Horsforth) R F C by Jack Grunwell written on Thursday 7th of January 2010

I joined Yarnbury RFC in 1947-8 and played in the first post war match as scrum half against Leeds NALGO after the Club was reformed.

I remember the Club well and very much enjoyed my short two or three seasons before moving to Bristol.

I am afraid I cannot name any players of that period apart from Rev Basil Rigby (local curate)also? Pete Crosby being 84

years old I suppose this is not surprising!I never returned to the Leeds area so lost contact with the Club,however I did continue playing rugby until I was

middle 50s in the Bristol area and was able to arrange a tour to Yarnbury by Barton Hill OB's a few years ago..can't remember the year but remember well the Yorkshire/Yarnbury hospitality.

My best wishes and thanks to the great Yarnbury RFC.

and would like to hear from anyone who might remember me..
