Lichfield Sports Club
Lichfield Sports Club was born out of the further development of Lichfield Cricket and Hockey Club. As the Club grew in its new home, new facilities were developed together with development of our field. The fantastic facilities soon attracted other clubs and whilst football teams at the club have changed over time, Whittington Rugby Club have become in integral part of the Sports Club. With exciting plans for the future, this venue is a very important part of Lichfield’s sporting offer.
