A BUSY SUMMER FOR THE OWRFC
The build-up to the 2019/20 rugby season has
already begun as of Tuesday, June 4, 2019, with
the first touch rugby session of the summer taking
place at the Old Wimbledonians.
These informal no-contact sessions have been
used as a fun way to keep fit over the summer
while throwing a rugby ball around with your
mates.
As it does each year, touch rugby will be used to
gently build towards formal pre-season training,
which will begin in August, ahead of a huge
challenge in Surrey League 2 this coming season.
For anyone looking for a new rugby club in
2019/20, or just looking to keep active over the
summer, the OWRFC is a sociable, community-
driven, all-ages rugby club based in Raynes Park,
South West London. We’re currently seeking new
players for our First XV squad and for our junior
section, the Old Wimbledonian Warriors. There
are also sections of the Old Wimbledonians for
football and cricket, both always keen to see some
new faces.
Below are some key dates to keep an eye on over
the rest of the summer, all taking place at the
OWRFC club house,
Tuesday, August 6 – Pre-Season
Training Begins (Continuing Every
Tuesday)
Saturday, September 14 – Pre-
Season Friendly Tournament (at
Met Police RFC)
Late September (Date TBC) – Surrey
