It's around this time of year that our training ground at Springhill starts to get really churned up. To escape all the mud & puddles, we've booked out the 3G Pitch at Mabley Green. There are changing rooms & showers on the side of the pitch.

A little less than 3 weeks ago Hackney RFC received a call asking us to step in and host a young man who was travelling from Trinidad and whose existing plans had fallen through. In no time the club's playing and coaching staff had volunteered enough spare rooms and sofas to host a whole team, and for the best part of 2 months the club is really proud and excited to be introducing Agboola Silverthorn to rugby and life in London.

This Movember the men of Hackney RFC are growing, grooming, trimming and waxing for Skrum. A number of the club's members will be growing lip warming soup strainers during November, and we would love you to get involved. You can support these moustachio'd heroes by donating to our chosen cause here. Or you can join us, stop shaving that upper lip and send this round to your friends and family.
