OLD REIGATIAN
Competing in the London 2 South West Division, Old Reigatian RFC plays their home
games at the Geoffrey Knight Fields on Park Lane in Reigate. They are led by President Sir
Peter Harrison CBE who is supported by Secretary Peter Tharp and the club has made a
considerable amount of progress under their guidance.
This season their first team
has made a positive start
to their league campaign,
having compiled a record of
2 wins and one defeat from
their first 3 matches. This has
left them with 10 points on
the board and just behind the
early pace setters.
If they are able to keep up
their recent level of form they
should find themselves top of
the table before too long. So
long as they are able to retain
their current group of players
and perhaps make one or two
quality additions they should
be well set up for a successful
season.
One of the main highlights
of their performances so
far has been the strong
defensive record that they
have established. They have
conceded just 40 points in
their 3 matches at a rate of
less than 15 per match, which
is among the best in the
league.
This record is thanks to the
fact that they have some
superb individual defenders
and have worked hard during
the off-season to shape them
into an organised unit. Having
a good defence is vital as it
allows a team to grind out
results even when they are
not playing at their best.
Another stand out feature of
the Old Reigatian set-up is
the superb youth section that
they have in place. This part
of the club looks to provide
