THE NEW ERA....
22 Apr 2006

1997 the club was founded as Richmond Rovers and played in the Anfield JSL, although LCFA registered as R'Mond Rovers

1999 saw the club winning its first ever trophy in the Umbro International in Manchester. A name chance saw the club unite with the Scottish Raith Rovers - now called Richmond Raith Rovers

2000 Richmond went on its greatest ever match winning sequence which saw them undefeated in the Anfield JSL for two and a half seasons! Winning a treble and a double the following season.

2001 A League & Cup Double for the u12s

2002 Two more teams join the set up, as two u10s sides join the Rovers, RRR Lutine & RRR Willowbank (two more thirst quenching holes either side of the Richmond Tavern)

2004 The Veterans side surfaced its head over a couple of pints of beer in a local establishment, The Claremont, and to be honest have probably surprised themselves more than their supporters (their children) with a wee smile on each others faces most Saturday afternoons.

2006 LCFA Cup Winners VETS, was the only trophy picked up by the Vets in their three year stint, but one of the biggest awards they could've won. The u18s finished runners-up in West Cheshire Youth League (West Kirby), Youth Plate (West Kirby 2-5) and LCFA u18s trophy (Bootle 1-2).

2007 u18s runner-up in Youth division again to Cammell Laird, Richmond applied for membership of the West Cheshire 3rd division and were duly elected members with the majority of the vote beating 4 other clubs!

2008 u16s finish Runners-up in Tuebrook league campaign, as the Open Age team finish 4th and are beaten finalists in the Shield to Runcorn Town Res (0-3).
A minor name change saw the club become known locally as RRR Jacobs, playing out of the Jacobs biscuits site in Long Lane Aintree and the u17s join the West Cheshire Youth division

2009 The Jacobs name was wiped clean and the Richmond Raith Rovers name was eventually given its full title. A new venue for home matches at Childwall Sports College and with it a 3rd place finish giving them promotion to Division Two of the West Cheshire

2010 Childwall Sports Centre again hosts Richmond Raith Rovers for the forthcoming 2010-11 campaign

EX - PLAYERS AT THE CLUB....
22 Apr 2006

A number of players have left the Rovers to go on to much bigger and brighter opportunities no one more so than two of our most talented females who've shown they can certainly surpass even the best of the lads..

FAYE McCOY (Liverpool Ladies & ENGLAND -2001)
JESSICA MOORE (Everton Ladies & ENGLAND u16's -2001/2003)
KARL CLAIR (Liverpool FC 2001/2002)
DAMIEN EASTHAM (Huddersfield 2001)
DALE JENNINGS (Tranmere Rovers 2001)

Damien EASTHAM has recently been awarded a YTS with HUDDERSFIELD TOWN, which we at the club are very proud to be associated with and wish him and the rest of the players every success for the now and the future. (Now with Southport)
Whilst Faye McCOY has recently transfered from Everton to Blackburn and is now at LIVERPOOL.

Karl CLAIR has played a number of youth matches for LIVERPOOL and played in last years Youth Cup semi-final v Arsenal.

Dale JENNINGS recently made his first team debut, coming on and scoring the winner for TRANMERE ROVERS at the tender age of 17yrs. Congratulations to him, we all knew at the club that one day Dale would find success at the top level. He was Jimmy's first ever player to be scouted and signed by Liverpool at 9yrs of age.

As far as I am aware all of the ex-RRR players are still with their clubs and hopefully in a couple of years we'll be seeing a lot more of each of them on Sky Sports...
