History of the Club
Founded in 1907, the club has had many great days. In 1963 King’s reached the finals of the Middlesex Sevens at Twickenham. In 1983 King’s won the Surrey Cup and for three years were in the senior national knockout cup. The old clubhouse at Robin Hood Way burnt down the late 1980s and after a brief homeless period we eventually arrived at our current location in Motspur Park in 1992. In 1993 we decided to have a go at “mini” rugby. Little did we know how successful it would be!
Although the club was established for the Old Boys of KCS School in Wimbledon we have been "open" for many years. We remain proud of our heritage and the valuable support that the school has given the club over many years but we are very much part of our local and wider communities and anyone who wants to enjoy their rugby is welcome to join.
The King’s 1XV have just won promotion to London 2SW. 21 players in the 1XV squad started at the club in mini or junior rugby. In September 2011 our Under 21 squad toured Biarritz winning three out of three games. The King Prawns – our Sevens Team – have just retained the Salcombe Sevens Title. Next season four out of six of our junior teams will play in the top Surrey junior league. The mini’s regularly win festivals; with this season’s U11s success at Chobham, Effingham and the Surrey A and B festivals being worthy of special mention.
Many boys are achieving representative honours. To single one or two out would be wrong, to list them all would take the rest of this page and probably next.
The club remains determined to succeed on the field. It is vital that we do so with a sense of fun and ensure everyone enjoys their rugby, be they a player, a coach, a referee, a manager, a first aider, a parent, or any other of the many wonderful volunteers who work so hard to make the club what it is. Our thanks, as ever, to all of them.
