During the 2012-2013 season a decision was taken to rebrand the club as Tadley Tigers RFC. The club is very much involved in the community providing facilities for functions, local schools, netball teams and the Tadley concert band. The senior players also take part in the Tadley 10K run as part of their summer training. Currently the club field 3 senior teams all playing in the South West structured Leagues. The Junior section now consists of 350 + Mini/Midi players from under 6 through to under 12 and Juniors from under 13 through to colts. A number of the current under 16 players have been recognised through the County structure and have been selected for London Irish and Wasps academies. Those colts that first started as under 6 have now started to be introduced to senior rugby with the future of the club looking promising. If asked 30 years ago what my ambition was as a founder member, it was to provide a community club who owned their ground. I would never have dreamed that we would now have such a strong community club with great facilities with the possibility of providing potential International players. 3 of the founder members can still be seen at the club most Thursday evenings and at most 1st XV matches on a Saturday ensuring that the club is moving in the right direction.
