rugby
If you strongly believe the social
aspect of rugby is as important as what happens on the field, then
fear not... Kingston rugby club is one of the best social rugby
clubs to be a part of.
Regular events are organised at the club, including discos, live
bands and dinners. On top of that, post match celebrations continue
well into the night, with many players choosing to visit the many
night-time attractions Kingston has to offer. So if you're mad on
rugby and you know how to enjoy yourself, then this is the club
for you!

Kingston
RFC takes the trophy in this year's Dragon Boat Challenge
in Kingston
Kingston
RFC entered a team in this years Dragon Boat race in Kingston. Skippered
by Richard Darby-Dowman, the team breezed through the three heats,
winning them all with only a couple of tense near-capsize moments!
We even beat the 'professional' dragon boat side who race every
week by 200th of a second! The Kingston boat also had to make do
with a boat of only 14 oarsmen as apposed to the other teams who
were able to field the full 16 — our boat was too heavy and
the official looking guy on the rudder felt we would sink!!! For
those that haven't been down to training yet...take that advice
constructively! You know who you are!!!
The top six teams out of the forty went through to the final and
in a nail biting finish, Kingston were neck and neck on the line
with the pro Dragon Boat team. Off to the analysis of the photo
finish and a tense announcement was awaited at the bandstand.
The judgement was made that the Pro team had edged it by 0.2secs,
but due to their expertise in the sport, they gallantly conceded
the award and it was presented to Kingston RFC as non-dragon boater
winners!
A cracking effort lads...and great effort by Grace on the drums
keep the boys in time! Another trophy for the cabinet.
