Medway Dragons RLFC, the local Rugby League club who have built a remarkable community club in the past five years, fifteen teams playing at every age and variation of the game, have been given exclusive use of the Rainham End. This is the home end for Gillingham FC and holds around 2000 fans.

Dragons Head Coach Martin Coyd said 'This is a dream for us at the Dragons. We have worked hard and done some great things with our club and now this has come along. This is fantastic opportunity to come and see some of the finest athletes on the planet playing The Greatest Game, right here in Gillingham'

'Rugby League is simply the toughest team sport in the world, not many can play the game as it is so fast, tough and needs huge levels of endurance. People from our part of the world will have their first chance to see Super League 'live' and close up. The tickets are incredible value - a family of four can see two great games in a great stadium for £ 22. There is nothing quite like it'

'It would be a dream come true to see a packed Rainham End in a rocking Priestfield Stadium, a glorious summer afternoon and a cold beer watching a fantastic game. Can any sports fan resist that ?
