Boston RFC Vets XV 'The Slodgers' named after the Fen Slodgers of the 18th Century

'The fen slodgers were roughish people, inhabiting the great fens of eastern England. It is thought they were so named because they had to slosh through the mud and sludge of their environment, which was then a vast area of swampy ground. Even in high summer, when some of the water drained off, the “deeps”, or small lakes, were permanent features and much of the surrounding land was in shallow water.'

In modern Days the Slodgers inhabit the boardsides pitches and Rugby club bar.

BRFC Slodgers is an open and friendly squad welcoming anyone over the age of 35 for casual but competitive rugby every 4-6 weeks.
