FIRST TEAM SEASON STARTS ON TIME

The club is advising supporters that the new league season definitely starts on September 5th with a National 2 East home game against Old Albanian at The Marine Travel Ground. The advice comes after the Rugby Football Union announced a delay to the start of the season until September 21st because the dry weather has made pitches unsafe. The second home match, against Esher on September 19th, also goes ahead.

Confusion has arisen as many supporters understood this to be a blanket ban on all games, which is not the case. First team league fixtures will proceed as advertised and the club’s principal pitch is in excellent condition.
