St Francis RFC

Are you thinking about getting into rugby, or getting back into it?

St Francis RFC is looking for new players to join.

But instead of talking about physios, Veo, or all the usual stuff, we thought we’d focus on what actually matters:

🤝 A club that genuinely welcomes you
✅ No trials, no cliques, no nonsense
🏉 Rugby without the politics
😊 More importantly, no hefty membership or match fees

At the end of the day, St Francis is more than just rugby, it’s a community.

If you want to know more, drop us a DM.

Big congratulations to Josh Wretham and Harry Trigg on the new arrivals to their families! Everyone at St Francis RFC wishes you all the best with your little ones.

P.S. The future of the St Francis Girls team is looking very strong 😉

What an evening at touch last night, great to see so many people down enjoying the session.

Really good to see a few new players, and even a few ‘retired’ players making an appearance 👀

Roll on next week’s session. Remember, if you fancy coming along and getting involved, just drop us a DM. Touch is open to all abilities, and we definitely do things a little differently from your ‘traditional’ rugby club.

At St Francis, it’s all amigos no egos.

We're pleased to announce the results of our April 100 Club draw! A huge thank you to everyone who joined in and supported us.

The winners are:

1st Place (£35): Josh Wretham
2nd Place (£25): Phil Dinsdale
3rd Place (£15): Mark Trolley
Easter Bonus (£50) - Dave Hemblade

Winners, please get in touch so we can arrange to transfer your prize money.

If you’d like to take part in the May draw, you can sign up here: https://buy.stripe.com/bJe5kD8Wr1ytfHC2KL28804

Remember, you can win money, with proceeds going back into the club. That funding will help us reach new players across the town and support our new “Keep Fit with St Francis”, which we’ll be announcing very soon.

Great session last week, look at this lot. 😜

If you fancy joining us, we're out every Thursday, 7 to 8:15pm at Southgate Park, Crawley.

All are welcome.

Massive congratulations to Jake Neal and Rylan Douglas for absolutely smashing it at the Sussex 7s, representing Ratana Toa 👊

Kudos as well to Pete Mitchell for his involvement.

Rumour has it Rylan was playing prop… who knows, he could be propping for St Francis next year 👀

Ever thought about giving rugby a go but never quite taken the plunge? 👋

We run Touch Rugby every Thursday evening at Southgate Park, Crawley, and honestly, it doesn't matter if you've played for years or never touched a ball in your life.

We're not your normal rugby team. No trials, no cliques, no egos. Just a good group of people who love a run around on a Thursday night.

Played before? Great, come keep your skills sharp.
Never played? Even better.

Every Thursday, 7:00 to 8:15pm, Southgate Park, Crawley.

Interested? Drop us a message, or we'll see you on the pitch on Thursday.

Got a mate who might fancy it? Tag them below, the more the merrier! And if you know anyone who'd love this, please give us a share, it really helps us grow. 🙌

Massive shoutout to Jack Veaney, Liam McGahan and Joe Lavery, who completed the Gatwick Half Marathon on Sunday!!
