History[edit]
Burnage Rugby Club was founded as an old boys' club for ex-pupils of Burnage High School in 1936. The club moved from Burnage in South Manchester to a new site at Heaton Mersey in Stockport in the 1970s.[2]
Ground and facilities[edit]
As well as three rugby pitches (4G plus two traditional grass pitches), the club site includes a par 3, 9-hole golf and foot-golf course (Heaton Mersey Valley Golf Course)[3] and 3G artificial rugby and football pitches.
