Ever since the founding of the mighty blue, white and magentas in 1923, countless lovers of the odd-shaped ball have experienced much pleasure (and some pain) representing OHRFC at the Fortress Croxdale Road. Originally comprising former pupils from Haberdashers’ Aske’s School in north London (and now in Elstree), the club now welcomes any player who wants a Saturday hit out without the stress of midweek training. 2023 marks our centenary season and we are keen to introduce as many as possible to the wonderful world of Old Haberdashers!

The club, with its ground in Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, currently fields two teams, with the 1XV playing in Regional 2 Thames. We strive to maintain a fierce commitment to enjoyment on and off the pitch, and have a full fixture list and social calendar for nine months of the year. We do not train during the season due to the age-old issue of players making training twice a week when working but players take responsibility for their own fitness work either independently or with other members of the club.

OHRFC organises an annual tour (typically in May) where players and supporters have the opportunity to visit rugby clubs and cities across the continent. Recent tour locations have included Bordeaux, Barcelona, Rome, Budapest and Lisbon (to name just a few!).
