St Francis RFC

An eclipse, judo throws, lineouts, scrums, back moves, run-throughs and post-sun drinks 💙🖤

Another great session in the tank for the boys.

We kicked things off trying to catch the subtle eclipse, before getting into a brilliant tackling session in the heat, led by our legendary judo expert, Simon.

A slightly different approach this week, with the lads learning how to fall properly, move safely and build confidence going into contact.

Next week, we’re heading down to Barns Green for some set-piece and backs work.

As ever, if you fancy getting involved, whether you’re new to rugby or returning to the game, drop us a DM 💙🖤

All smiles at training last night, from lineouts and back moves to Steve Hand reffing touch!

It was also great to finally have the right bibs, after a certain Rylan brought the juniors’ ones last week…

Another quality session in the bank! 💙🖤💙🖤

Infinity Tag, Piggy in the Middle, touch rugby, and thankfully no burpees this week!

It is with great sadness that St Francis RFC shares the passing of former player and 1st XV Captain, Michaelangelo Krango.

Michael was a valued and much-loved member of the St Francis family, and he will be remembered for his strength, character and contribution to the club.

Our deepest condolences are with his wife Caroline, his children, family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.

Caroline has described Michael as “a true warrior until the end” who passed peacefully, surrounded by those he loved.

Details of his memorial and celebration of life will be shared once confirmed.

Rest in peace, Michael. You will always be part of St Francis RFC. 💙🖤

Our fixtures for the 2026/27 season are here 💙🖤

Kick-off times and further details will be confirmed soon, and keep your eyes peeled for our upcoming socials too 👀

A massive welcome back to Haines Commercials Ltd, one of St Francis RFC’s newest club partners! 🙌

Haines Commercials first came on board midway through last season, and we’re delighted that they have continued their partnership with the club for the new season.

A huge shout-out to Vinnie Haines for his support and for becoming part of the St Francis family.

Here’s Vinnie with some of the players, proudly showing off our new training tops, made possible with the support of Haines Commercials.

It’s fantastic to have them on board, and we’re looking forward to continuing the partnership.

Keep your eyes peeled for more partner announcements soon.
