a day at the end of the season. History of Ravens North East Worcestershire Ravens League Football Club as its now known formed in 2005 when the RFL approached Jason Spafford asking him to form a team to fill the gap in the Midlands League left by the missing Worcester Saints. Redditch Ravens was formed by Jason Spafford and David Parsons took charge of it with the new home ground eventually being the 'Beehive' in Studley - the home of studley football ground. After moving around for several seasons we relocated around 2010 to Bromsgrove RU Club where much development work took place. This included a name change to North East Worcestershire Ravens thus widening the club's remit, a first Masters game, junior development programme, 'Challenge Mug' Competition, a visit of the RL Challenge Cup via the Warrington Wolves and the actual RL World Cup. In 2014 the NEW Ravens relocated to Hopwood Park, the home of Kings Norton RU Club and from that time onwards came to be regarded as a very proactive RL club in the Midlands. The Challenge Mug competition continues to grow for the seniors with clubs coming from further a field, mixed touch rugby was developed, coaching courses run, junior development expanding even further with wider age ranges, festivals and camps with newly qualified Level 2 coaches, Masters RL developed further, the Seniors organised tours to Gateshead and Liverpool as well as junior all weekend festivals supported by partner Super League Club Saints, training in the use of defibrillators and recently Ravens juniors being selected as Macots for the 4 Nations double header at the Ricoh Stadium in Coventry. Midlands finals were hosted at Ravens in 2017 after a selection process as well as the club organizing regular trips to the RL Challenge Cup and Super League Grand Final for members and friends; distinctive on the field and off field clothing was developed.
