Premiership goes global

 

 

London Irish VS Saracens



 

On the 12th March 2016 the first premiership game will be held over seas in the spectacular Red Bull Arena.

 

London Irish are set to play this exciting match against the Saracens in New York early next year.

 

This is a huge opportunity for not only the club but for premiership rugby as a whole. The sport is widely growing and becoming a popular team sport overseas. Having one of the biggest sporting cities playing host to this fixture, opens huge doors for the clubs and its fans. With a build up around St Patricks day London Irish will undoubtedly be looking to scout out a wider global fan base.

 

"This is an enormous opportunity for our club to gain exposure in one of the biggest sporting cities in the world," Exiles chief executive Bob Casey said.

 

Established in 1898, London Irish became a professional rugby club in 1996. There have been many developments over the years, including a move out to Madejski Stadium where London Irish now play all their home matches, and a move from the former spiritual home at The Avenue to the elite Hazelwood training facility which they now call home.

 

London Irish are one of only three sides to have beaten Saracens at Allianz Park in Premiership Rugby, the others are Northampton Saints (twice) and Exeter Chiefs.

 

Watch the video below for match highlights from past games between the two sides.

Mid Kent Golf Club

 

 

Introducing one of Perry Clubs newest commissions, Mid Kent Golf Club. The club has been thriving since 1909 and boasts a membership of 890. Approached by club members Perry were asked to develop royal blue blazers for the club presidents. With added complimentary sky blue lining the sophisticated royal blue design, is a classic and beautifully tailored jacket for both men and women. With a very tight turn around Perry were pleased to be able to meet the demands of the members, having the club blazers delivered earlier than requested. It was a pleasure to work with Mid Kent and Perry look forward to working on future projects with the members. 

"The blazers are super and there has been a great deal of admiration for the quality and colour.

Many thanks for your speedy service. We know time was tight but the quality remained. 

With best wishes

Zoe"

 

The History of Mid Kent Golf Club

 

 

Mid Kent Golf Club dates back to 1909. The course was designed by Willie Park Jnr. The first president of the club was Earl Darnley, better known for his cricketing exploits as the England Captains, under his family Ivo Bligh, who received the Ashes which are still played for between England and Australia.

 

 

The layout and direction of play around the course has changed three times over the years until the last time in 1972 when it became as it is today. Over the years several sporting heroes and celebrities have played the course, to name some:- Tony Jacklin, Peter Oosterhouse, Henry Cooper, Mickie Walker, Mike Reed, Hale & Pace plus many more. The club has thriving membership of 890.

Oakham Rugby Club

 

 

 

 

 

Oakham Rugby Football Club was formed at a meeting called by several masters from Oakham School on January 19th 1923.

Headquarters were at the Crown Hotel and players changed in some farm buildings at Barleythorpe where bathing facilities were a cattle trough, 3 six foot tin baths and a boiler. Matches were played in a field at Barleythorpe.

First game in September 1923 was against a Stoneygate side, result Oakham 33, Stoneygate 0!

No games were played during the War years of 1939 to 1945 and during 1945 to 1950 Melton and Oakham players formed a combined team.
v Oakham resumed in September 1950 with headquarters at the Railway Inn in Station Road and played on the Old Agricultural Showground (opposite side of road to our present site).

Oakham fielded a 2nd XV for the first time in 1955.

The club moved to the present Agricultural Showground in 1966 and built their first Clubhouse at a cost of £1,700. An extension was added and improvements made in 1975 at a cost of £3,000.

The Mini section was formed in 1978 and has continued to grow to its present size of over 100 members.

A new Clubhouse and improved facilities opened in 1992.

The ladies section formed 1994/1995 and was promoted after a successful 1999/2000 season.

 

Recently the under 16's had a spectacular 43-3 win against Stamford, Well done lads! 

 

 

The club are also huge supporters of the England team and even though England are unfortunately out of RWC, Oakham show great pride and support for the players.

The Oakham blazer

Perry recently had the opportunity to work with the Oakham committee in the creation of a representative Club blazer. The chosen design featured black, gold and white stripes with a complimentary gold lining and embroidered crest.
