Welcome to Wheaton Aston & Penkridge RUFC
"The illustrious rugby union side playing out of the Monckton sports centre on the odd Saturday."Established in 1981, Wheaton Aston & Penkridge RUFC celebrated our 25th Anniversary of playing league rugby in 2007. Like any club we have had ups and downs but find ourselves most definitely on the up at present. We are currently building a stronger, faster, fitter rugby club and are determined to continue the success of the club and the enjoyment of it’s members and supporters.
We play and train at the Monckton Recreation Centre, Pinfold Lane, Penkridge. Training is every Wednesday from 19:30 onwards. Past, present and future rugby players are always welcome and indeed anyone wishing to improve their overall fitness or rugby skills are also.
We play national league rugby (Midlands 5 West North division) and are members of the Staffordshire Rugby Union. We play home and away fixtures on Saturdays during September and right through to the end of April.

WAPRugby travelled to Cannock and beat Cannock 2nd team by 24 to 19 points. This was an interesting game of open rugby with WAP showing their pace and flair. Cannock tried to dominate the game physically, but WAP maintained their discipline and were worthy winners. The excellent tackling by Dak Wiles and Aaron Jones with Steve Watton and Richard Jennings opening up the Cannock Defence contributed to the win.
