Rugby club hosts presidential visit

Midhurst chairman Simon Milner hosted Jeff Blackett, president of the RFU, and John Feakins, president of Sussex RFU.

They watched a full youth and minis training session led by junior chairman, Craig Johnson. More than 200 boys and girls were enjoying safe, fun and instructive coaching and development sessions.

Midhurst runs rugby for under-sixes to under-17s.

Rugby has two more stages to go before grassroots rugby is back to full contact and competitive leagues can resume.

Midhurst has weathered the financial storm well and have already played Haywards Heath in a modified format called Ready4Rugby.
