Welcome

Southgate RFC was established over 80 years ago as a works team from the old Standard Telephones and Cables which later became Nortel. We play rugby union during the winter months in both competitive and friendly matches. Amateur rugby remains a sport for people of all ages, shapes and sizes and at Southgate RFC we are no different. Our playing ages are from 18 to 60 and we run both regular teams and veterans teams for those “of a certain age”.

Southgate RFC is affiliated to the Rugby Football Union and as such members of the club have access to our ballots for international tickets.

We play a key role in the local community at many of the local events, including the Walker Ground fireworks night and the Southgate May Day festivities where we run a number of stands as well as being involved in its organisation. In addition we organise many events in and around the Southgate area including comedy nights, quiz nights, pre and post season BBQ,s and an annual dinner dance / club night.

A key event in our calendar is the traditional Easter tour when the club visits tournaments and clubs in the UK or overseas and builds camaraderie. Recent venues have included the Isle of Thanet, Newquay, Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Torquay, Salou (Spain), and Leiden.

We train on Wednesday evenings at 19:30 and play Saturday afternoons. Many of our players had never played before joining us and have now found their vocation. We are looking for players of all abilities (18 years and over) so why not come and join us and help us grow into the best club in the Southgate area.

 As you can see from the cover of a calender we created in support of leukemia research we don't take ourselves too seriously so if you aren't able to play why not join us as a social member. We offer two levels of membership; the "Presidents Club" for ex Southgate RFC players who are no longer able to play and the "Supports Club" for those of you who enjoy watching rugby and joining in the post match social side of things.
