Interested in trying a new sport? Love rugby already? Come and join us at Springhill Sports Grounds in Hackney for a day of rugby on Sunday the 29th April. We will have some stellar coaches from top clubs around London. There will be a BBQ and refreshments and a chance to get fit, learn about rugby or learn even more about rugby.

Please let anyone who was playing or might have been watching know. Unfortunately, both the 2nd XV fixture at home to Enfield and the Ladies fixture at home to Trojans have been cancelled by the opposition. They were both league games, so a 25-0 HWO will be awarded.

This game has been called off by the opposition as they were unable to field a front row. Please let anyone you know who may have been travelling to watch the game aware.

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.

Hackney are planning to put out a 4th team this weekend (22nd October). This will be the first time since the victorious B&I Lions tour of 1997 that we have fielded at 4th team. Various characters are being dragged out of retirement for this immense occasion.

It’s just 3 weeks until Hackney men’s pre-season begins on July 12th commencing 7.30 at Springhill and just six weeks until the women’s training begins on August 2nd. The emphasis throughout the sessions will be on core skills and scenario play in order to build on the attacking rugby that was the trademark of last season. Throughout the season every Tuesday will see a 90-120 minute session take place as in previous years with Springhill playing host. For the eight weeks following Christmas, once again, we will be utilising the 3G pitch at Mabley Green to avoid the muddy conditions.

The season may be over, but that doesn't have to mean the end of rugby! We're playing mixed touch & tag rugby 3 times a week throughout the summer.
