Kendal Rugby Club has opened a new senior-team record archive revealing two headline milestones from its long history: Glenn Chesher is listed as the leading First XV appearance-maker, while Hayley Hodgson tops the recorded points table for the women’s Wasps team.
The archive was published on 23 August 2026 and updated on 24 August. It brings together appearance and scoring information from different stages of Kendal Rugby Club’s development, creating a single reference point for current players, former members and supporters.
Glenn Chesher leads Kendal’s First XV appearances
Chesher is recorded with 243 First XV appearances for Kendal, putting him three matches ahead of Matt Houghton, who has 240. The published appearance table covers matches from 1905 through to the end of the 2025 season.
Alistair Thompson is third with 200 appearances, followed by Reece Tomlinson on 183 and Dini Noyo on 157. The table combines long-serving club members with players from more recent senior sides, reflecting more than a century of competition and changes in Kendal’s teams.
Aaron Stephens heads the men’s scoring table
The men’s First XV scoring table is led by Aaron Stephens, who has 361 points from 78 appearances. His total comprises 12 tries, nine conversions and 53 penalties.
Houghton is second on 320 points, with Noyo third on 295. Evan Moir is listed on 227 points from 25 appearances, including 16 tries, three conversions and two penalties. Ollie Rose completes the leading scorers with 140 points from 42 appearances.
Hayley Hodgson leads the recorded Wasps points
The women’s Wasps records cover the 2013/14 campaign through to the 2025/26 season. Aimee Sharp is the leading recorded appearance-maker with 125 matches, followed by Sarah Wilkinson on 110. Hodgson is third in the appearance table with 109 matches.
Hodgson leads the recorded Wasps points table with 734 points, made up of 140 tries and 17 conversions. Wilkinson is second on 270 points, followed by Tamar Benson on 253.
The club has cautioned that some women’s-team figures remain provisional while research continues. The archive combines entries from the Wasps’ first listed campaign in 2013/14 with newer material from the 2025/26 season, meaning further historical research could change some published totals.
Unless additional research alters the figures, Chesher’s 243 First XV appearances and Hodgson’s recorded 734 Wasps points remain the headline milestones in Kendal Rugby Club’s newly published records. The archive is intended to give supporters one place to follow senior-team appearances and scoring achievements as the club continues developing its historical record.
