TRAINING STARTS TUESDAY JULY 2nd 7.30

All new players are very welcome. We can offer excellent coaching and facilities, with three pitches, two floodlit, a gym and squash court. Our physios attend training evenings and matches.

We play open, enjoyable and serious rugby. We have finished a narrow third in the league for the past two years. If you are new to the area or simply want a change, you will find a warm welcome at Broad Walk. Just give us a call at info@charltonpark.org.uk

 

The Annual General Meeting, scheduled for Thursday 18th July 2019, has been temporarily put back to enable the accounts to be up-to-date. We apologise for any reconfiguring of diaries this may cause. Watch this space for the changed date.

YOUTH RUGBY

As a community club we offer our coaching services to all our local football-orientated schools who wish to introduce rugby to years 7 and 8. This is becoming very popular, with five schools already involved taking up each weekday afternoon and several more wanting to join up. All coaches are being paid by the club. If you wish to support this success story by either coaching or sponsoring, or you are a school who would like to take up this opportunity, please contact us.

Club training is on Thursdays 5.30pm to 7.30pm. For further information please email  Doug Hursey, chief@charltonpark.org.uk or see our Youth Information page.

Enjoying rugby
since 1893

The date of this photo is uncertain, but we do know some of the people in it so it will come from just before the First World War, round about 1912 when we had a pretty strong team. At the time, of course, we were the Old Charltonians.

The captain, holding the ball, is FR (Freddie) Roberts. He played half-back (scrum-half?) for Kent and also represented London against Paris that year. We cannot be completely certain but the player on his right is probably HJ Turpin, who also played for the county.

Roberts survived the war to be captain again in 1919. On his left is Harold Hollis who was in the Kent side that won the County Championship in 1923.
