As most club members will know Ivybridge RFC have secured the lease on Rutt Field that was part of Ivybridge Community College to secure further playing facilities for the Club.

We have now lost the mini pitch at Filham Park as Ivbridge Cricket Club have been forced to move and a new wicket is being prepared.

At the present time there are plans in the club house but for anyone who has walked over to take a look it is going to be a very valuable addition to Ivybridge RFC.

We all know that pitch space is at premium with so many teams and players and this will when it is finished make life a little easier and take pressure off the main pitch.

At present the contractors have done a huge amount of work and we are still hopeful that all the work will be finished and the area seeded by May. Of course it is not going to be ready for playing on for some months and we are all going to have to be patient and conserve what we have for the moment.
