BURNHAM Rugby Club have capped their 50th anniversary year celebrations by securing RFU accreditation.

The award was based upon six key drivers after the club impressed in their adult, mini, youth, women and girls' sections, along with touch rugby.

They also demonstrated that they achieved success in a friendly, welcoming environment and that the club represents the game’s core values at the heart of everything it does.

Essex RFU president Alan Gold presented the accreditation award to Burnham RC at their 50th anniversary dinner.
