Pre-season training for all players is going very well. A big welcome to several new players – three have already signed registration forms and more are expected. No matter what level you are, you need to be fit and ready so come along on Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 7.15 for 7.30 start.

We are really pleased to be able to announce that Kent prop Terry Read will captain Charlton Park next season.  Following on from third place last year and with nearly all players staying on, the club is already looking forward to 2018/19 and Terry, Head Coach Lee Amzaleg and Director of Rugby Doug Hursey have ambitious plans to move the club forward.

If you are new to the area or simply want a change you will find a warm welcome and a winning mentality at Broad Walk. Just give us a call at info@charltonpark.org.uk

 

And…If you know anyone who would like to keep in touch with the club, get invited to club events and VP lunches, please ask them to sign up to receive these emails.

They can leave their details on the VP page of the club’s website.

  

We are looking for new players of all abilities and ambition to develop the strength of the club through all sides. We are particularly keen on attracting quality players who will increase our strength in depth at first and second team level to help us realise our ambitions of returning to the top tier of London rugby as well as going one better at Twickenham in the RFU Intermediate Cup.

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.
