Touch rugby is back on again tonight and what a start it’s been 🙌🔥

Great numbers every session so far, loads of laughs, plenty of touches, and a brilliant atmosphere every week.

If you haven’t been down yet, come and see what you’re missing out on 👊🏉

Who are we seeing at 6:45 tonight at Mote Park?

We just can’t get enough… 🏉

Another four players decided they weren’t quite finished with rugby this season and pulled on the shirt to help make the Ben Campbell-Johnston Memorial Match happen.

A huge thank you to Sam Crowther, Rhys Tolley, Jack Brown and Pascal Chuchu for stepping in, playing out of position, wearing unfamiliar colours, and giving the crowd another chance to watch the game they love.

Most importantly, together we helped raise an incredible £12,600 for the amazing charities supported by the day — Jigsaw South East, Kent Wooden Spoon and Star Scheme — all in memory of Ben Campbell-Johnston 💙

A brilliant day of rugby, community and celebration.

🔥 MAIDSTONE RUGBY IS BUILDING 🔥

After hugely positive seasons across the club, both senior teams are pushing forward with one goal — PROMOTION. 📈🏉

We’re building the club back to where it belongs; competitive, ambitious, welcoming, and full of character. With strong numbers at training, engaging sessions, and a great atmosphere around the club, Maidstone Rugby is becoming the town club to be at once again.

But this club is about more than just rugby.

When you join Maidstone, you don’t just join a club — you join a family. 🔴⚪️⚫️

From senior rugby to our growing youth section, there’s a place for everyone here. Whether you’re 18 or 50+, an experienced player or completely new to the game, you’ll be welcomed from day one. We also proudly offer youth rugby all the way from tots through to colts, helping build the next generation of Maidstone players.

✅ All abilities welcome
✅ Ambitious teams pushing for promotion
✅ Engaging training with great numbers
✅ Strong social calendar on and off the pitch
✅ Youth rugby from tots to colts
✅ A genuine community and family atmosphere

Train. Play. Belong. Together.

Come and be part of something special. 💪🏉

The season might be over, but rugby never really stops. 🏉

Recently, four Maidstone Rugby Club players joined New Ash Green RFC for their Presidents Day — helping make it another fantastic occasion.

A brilliant example of the support, friendship, and community spirit that makes rugby so special.

A huge thank you to Jude Pearson, Harri Slaughter, Archie Stone, and Ryan Harrison for representing the club so well 👏
