Cambridge Eagles - History

History

Cambridge City Tigers played in the London League, after the 1990/91 season the Chairman of Cambridge City Tigers decide to break away and form his own club - Cambridge Eagles, the players who were not invited to play for the new club, formed Cambridge Tigers. The new Cambridge Eagles team continued to play in the London League.

Cambridge Eagles missed out at the first stage of applications to the new Southern Conference in 1997. However, Reading Raiders announced that they would remain in the London League. Thus Cambridge were offered their place. Cambridge joined the Eastern Division where they have played ever since.

The clubs previous home was at Cantabs Rugby Union ground on Long Road in Cambridge. It was decided in 2008 to move the team permanently to Sawston.

After a bumpy and difficult start to the season Cambridge Eagles folded. With immediate effect the Eagles were withdrawn from the RLC East and are barred from joining again in the 2010 season.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    Free from public debt, at peace with all the world, and with no complicated interests to consult in our intercourse with foreign powers, the present may be hailed as the epoch in our history the most favorable for the settlement of those principles in our domestic policy which shall be best calculated to give stability to our Republic and secure the blessings of freedom to our citizens.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
