History
editThe club was the brainchild of a group of teachers from Henry Compton School, who in 1977, identified that there was a need for a club to cater for the rugby needs of the local residents and school children. The club was formed the following year.
Since club rugby was introduced in 1987, the club has made its way through the leagues, reaching tier 5 of the English rugby union system in 2023 after they were champions of Regional 2 Thames.[1]
The club won the first two editions of the Middlesex RFU Senior Bowl and has been Middlesex RFU Senior Cup runner-up on two occasions; 2008–09[2] and 2014–15.[3]
