Let’s get down in numbers and show what WRFC is all about

Big one at Radlett Road this Saturday 💙❤️

Our 1st XV close out the season at home with the final league game of the campaign against Welwyn. One last push, one last battle, and a chance to finish the season strong in front of the home crowd.

A quality squad named with plenty of homegrown talent throughout the side. Let’s pack the touchline, make some noise, and get behind the boys.

📍 Radlett Road, Watford
🆚 Welwyn
⏰ 15:00 KO

Then from 7PM, keep the celebrations going with our Barn Dance Country Theme Night 🤠🎶
Live music, games, drinks flowing, and plenty of good times as we round off the season in style.

Home action this Saturday 💙❤️

Watford 2nd XV return to Radlett Road for a 13:30 kick-off against Hatfield. A strong side packed with quality and homegrown talent is ready to put in a shift and finish the season the right way.

Get down, back the boys, enjoy the bar, and make some noise from the touchline.

📍 Radlett Road, Watford
🆚 Hatfield
⏰ 13:30 KO
