Year Summary 2005
2004/05 saw an improvement in league position and performance from the previous season. Led on the field by the excellent Colin Ellis, Chester delivered their best league return in terms of games only losing 6 in all with 16 won. 2 other losses were in cup competition, where they were knocked out of the National Cup by Manchester in round 3 after beating Wirral, Leicester Lions and higher placed Macclesfield. They were also beaten semi-finalists in the Cheshiire Cup by the eventual winners New Brighton.
Led by Director of Rugby and Head Coach Steve Dorrington who was ably supported by Rob Foden (Backs Coach) and Aled Davies (Technical Coach), Chester have developed a fantastic "Total Rugby Ethos" and an infectious "Team Spirit", which is demonstrated right through the club from U8's through to the energetic Chester Vets. Chester are a growing club with plenty of ambition to develop.
Notable Perfomances include: Gavin Taylor - Players Player of the season; Steve Burke - Player of the Season and Andy Moore - Most Improved Player of the Season.
Representative honours went to Gavin Woods and Paul Campbell who represented Cheshire in the County Championships.
Ben Foden gained an England U21 cap, whilst Meg Youdan represented England U19 ladies.
Chester are looking forward to 2005/06 and plan to further improve on the success story of many seasons of hard work, both on and off the field.
