we had to look at how we could improve
recruitment. We’ve addressed that now
with a number of players coming
down from the local school and feel
that we’ve transitioned to a point
where we can look forward to the
new campaign with plenty of
optimism.
RR: We pride ourselves on being a
social rugby club; we’re committed to
being successful on the field but our
priority is on everyone enjoying
themselves. With three senior sides
running people have the option of
choosing the right level for them.
We can offer some of the
best facilities in London so
there is a great base for people
to come and improve their
skills. Basically, we are a
family club that want to give
everyone attending an allround experience that they can
enjoy.
Pre-season
JB: We’re working hard
now to be ready for the new
season, setting up fitness
sessions to get the lads in the
best shape possible. We’re
looking to encourage players to
get back involved with the club and
just want to improve over the coming
months. I’m confident that we’re coming
out the back of a transitional period and
are preparing for a successful campaign.
The Future
2016-17
JB: We’re targeting getting the first
team promoted this season, bouncing
back at the first time of asking. We want
to hit the ground running to build some
momentum in the first half of the season
and then carry that on from there. Our
2nd team is targeting a finish in the top
three and the 3rds have a great chance of
winning their league.

Community
JB: The club works hard to play an
important role in the community and held
a family day this year in January which
was well attended and will look to run
similar events next year.
RR: The nuts and the bolts of the
club in terms of finances and facilities
are in fantastic shape so we can just work
on developing the playing side to be the
best that it can be. The club is one of the
founding members of the RFU and we all
have a strong sense of stewardship here.
It’s special to be part of a club with such
heritage and we want to be successful
whilst retaining its traditional ethos
moving forward.
