The count down for pre season is on! From the 18th of June the Senior squad will start preparations for the upcoming season. Sessions will be running every Tuesday and Thursday from 7.30 - 9pm. With the 1st XV having been promoted to London 1 South, the squad are looking to make a big impression, in what is going to be a tough league campaign.

We are still looking to add players to the squad, so if you are thinking of joining the club, you are more than welcome to attend the pre season sessions. If you have any questions, please get in contact with DoR John Jackson or 1st XV Manager Michael Timms.
