After playing at Stow for a number of years, it occurred to a few of us travelling from Chippy every weekend that we could probably just about get a team together ourselves.

 

After a fixture one week, having our post-match pints sat in the Blue Boar, conversations got going about making the vision a reality.  Jo Walsh was the landlord of the Blue back then.

Myself, Trevor Evans, Paul Coles, Martin Newman and a few others started making plans - we got some others interested, and so Chippy Rugby Club was reformed.

 

Len Howie, and Comprehensive school headmaster Arthur Nockels, were a big part of it all.

Chippy school field was our home pitch and the Blue Boar was the club house.
