Champions of Midlands 1 2008 - 2009 found the progression to National league 2 North, tough over the whole period and there were some steep learning curves in places. Broadstreet had an excellent start to the 2009 - 2010 season but as the season progressed discovered that maintaining their initial winning ways was a tougher job all around. They suffered over the winter period with injuries to key players hi-lighting the requirement of a larger squad in size and possibly physique would be required in their next assault.
2010 - 2011 sees Broadstreet RFC fielding their 3rd XV in the Warwickshire 1 2nd XV league, a first for both the club and the league. The 3rd XV 2009 -2010 were guided to League and cup success under the watchful eye of Simon Skene and on their successful Coventry and District cup run gained the nickname 'The Bash Street Kids' due to the mixture of experienced old heads with the youthful experience playing an exciting attacking rugby.
Broadstreet are a very successful Coventry rugby union club, with facilities to match our ambition. We have recently recruited some of the best young talent in the country casting our net far and wide as we lost a couple of players to Coventry rugby union club following their relegation from the championship.
