Bexley RFC currently runs three Saturday teams, all in leagues, with their 1st XV
competing in Kent League I, the National Junior Vase, and Shepherd Neame Vase cup
competitions. This season they are hoping to put out a Vets team in a proposed local Vets
League.
“Our challenges and ambitions
for the next 5 years are to grow
the club, attract more players
particularly at mini and junior
level.”
The Club has a great tradition in youth rugby, having
originated from young enthusiasts and by continuing
to be sustained with regular recruitment’s from local
schools over the years. They recognise the importance

game, and as a result established “The Mini-Rugby
Section” in September 1997.
The section meets regularly for coaching/training and
matches on Sunday mornings at their Bexley Park
Ground. The numbers are growing, with boys and
girls in all age groups U7, U8, U9, U10, U11, U12 with
qualified coaches to provide good guidance. The new
season will start on Sunday 7th September 2014 with
coaching at 10:30.
