History
In January 2004, the landlord and a group of friends from The Early Bird, Weavering, Maidstone accepted a challenge from the Medway Police to play a charity rugby match in aid of the Kent Air Ambulance. Despite the majority of the team having no rugby experience whatsoever, the game proved a great success, raising considerable sums of money for the Air Ambulance Charity.
With support and assistance from the KRFU, and our sponsor ARKAS we entered division D of the Mid Kent and East Sussex Leagues in 2004, narrowly missing out on the winners spoils after a defeat at the last game decider against Aylesford.
Promoted to Division C in 2005. A tough year in only our 2nd season. Medway had the league sewn up but we successfully completed the season in the runners up position for the 2nd year running.
Promotion to Division B for 2006. A new sponsor in BIRKBY CONSTRUCTION and a credible 3rd place within the final league standings.
Promotion to Division A for the 2007. 3 promotions in 3 years, not a bad record for a team fuelled on spirit rather than experience. Many thanks to Paul from ME1 and ASHES for the support both on and off the pitch.
2008 - 2009. We return to Division B this year, with continued support from BIRKBY CONSTRUCTION and new support and a new home at the THE KENTISH YEOMAN, Bearsted.
2009 -2010 saw the continued support of Birkby Construction and another new home. The Cricketers, Maidstone
