Seniors

The club runs seven senior sides ranging from the truly serious to "social" rugby and caters for players of all abilities, sizes and ages. The 1st XV play in The Championship, come along and support us on Match Days, the ticket price is reduced for Members. The 2nd XV, known as the 'Cardinals', plays in Division 1 of the Rugby Tech Shield League while the Academy XV plays in Division 2 of the Rugby Tech Shield League. 

The Amateur 1 (The 'Priors'), Amateur 2 (The 'Bees'), Amateur 3 (the 'Friars'), who play in the Surrey Merit Tables, and the Veterans (known as the 'Expendables') are all for players who prefer the more social side of the game.
