Smiths Rugby goes to Twickenham! 🎉

For the first time in our history, Smiths Rugby will grace the pitch of the Allianz Stadium (formerly known as Twickenham) in the final of the Papa Johns Counties 2 Championship.

After an unbeaten league season, it has not been an easy route to the final. We started our campaign against local rivals Old Pats, before beating 3 league winners – Oxford RFC, Hampstead RFC and Dinnington RFC. We now face Old Elthamians (a Kent-based team who played at Twickenham last year) in what is sure to be a brilliant occasion.

We would love as much support as possible, and to help you be there, we have got details of the day for you below. Up the Smiths!

Core Values - a message from the RFU

We would like to remind all teams of the values of rugby – Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline, Sportsmanship.  We would like to celebrate the whole of the game, to show what is good about it and to promote why we believe it is the ultimate team sport. What takes place on the touchline and in the stands on our Finals Days is as important as what is happening on the pitch.  We urge all teams to remind their players, staff, and supporters of rugby’s expectations to maintain the reputation and image of our sport and likewise, of their club.  We hope you will join us in challenging any behaviour that conflicts with the values of rugby, from those linked to your club.  Many thanks in advance for your support.
