Burnage Rugby Football Club is an English rugby union team based in Stockport, Greater Manchester. The club runs four senior sides, a colts team and an under-15s side. [1] The first XV plays in Regional 2 North West, a level six league in the English rugby union system. Recently, the club has established an academy, for boys and girls from age under-5 through to under-15
Burnage Rugby Club was founded as an old boys' club for ex-pupils of Burnage High School in 1936. The club moved from Burnage in South Manchester to a new site at Heaton Mersey in Stockport in the 1970s. [2]
As well as three rugby pitches (4G plus two traditional grass pitches), the site includes a par 3, 9-hole golf and foot-golf course (Heaton Mersey Valley Golf Course) [3] and 3G artificial rugby and football pitches.
