Welcome to Men's Rugby

Founded in 1863, St George’s Hospital Medical School RFC is one of the oldest clubs in world rugby. We are most known for still competing in the United Hospitals Rugby Cup (UH Cup) - the oldest rugby cup in the world (4 years older than the Calcutta Cup!). George’s rugby is one of the largest sports team at the university with two regular men’s sides playing on Wednesday afternoons in the BUCS leagues and cups as well as the UH Cup.

Despite the club being called a “medics team”, all George’s students are eligible to play and the team is filled with medics, physios, parameds and biomeds. Each year, a whole range of freshers turn up for trials: some have played rugby to a high standard already, whilst others have never touched a rugby ball before with many in between the two. We welcome everyone to take part as you never know what potential you are hiding.

Rugby at George’s is much more than just the training and playing, we are one of the best social teams at the university, joining the other sports teams at Sport Circles on Wednesday evenings to celebrate our wins and occasional losses! We also organise regular team meals and nights out. As all great rugby teams, we have a tour each year and it’s a part of the year the whole team looks forward to. Many of the boys live in rugby houses when they move out of halls as they form close connections with their team mates. There is a real bond with all rugby boys throughout the years as we all help each other with the academic side of things such as running mock OSCE’s and simulation society. With the Rugby World Cup starting this month, there is no better time to get involved with university rugby!

 

Achievements in 2018/2019

Last year the 1st team won their BUCS league with a game to spare and have been promoted to the league above.

 

Come and join us!

We train on Mondays at our local rugby Club (Wimbledon RFC) at 7:15pm, meet the team outside Peabodys (ground floor Hunter WIng) for 6:30pm. Check out our social media pages for more information about the club and training sessions. We are looking forward to meeting you!

St George’s Hospital Medical School RFC was founded in 1863, and we are the only one of the original United Hospitals members that is in the same form as at inception. The other schools have all been through a series of mergers and in most cases renaming, thus making SGHMS RFC one of the oldest rugby clubs in existence.

The St George’s Rugby Club is a vibrant and well-organised team and we have a strong tradition of playing a high level of rugby. On a Wednesday we play in the BUCS league and on a Saturday in the Surrey League. We also compete in a number of competitions over the course of the season, most famously - the United Hospitals Challenge Cup (the oldest cup competition in the game of rugby) and the National Association of Medical Schools (NAMS) Cup.

There is also the opportunity to be selected to play for the United Hospitals’ team. The UH captain is our own Ollie Rupart this year, and there are usually games against very decent sides such as Oxford and Cambridge twos, and premiership under-21 sides.

We compete in BUCS league 2A every Wednesday and have the opportunity to represent Wimbledon 3s on Saturdays.

We also enjoy the social aspect of rugby and the 2 teams get together back at the SU bar in the evenings after matches to unwind and celebrate (hopefully!). The rugby dinner is one of the most anticipated nights of the year, where we get into our DJs and head into central for a fine meal and annual awards ceremony. We have a social tour once a season – the greatest weekend of the year - where we head off to a different city and spend a long weekend welcoming the freshers into the club as well as enjoying team activities.

This year we have Oliver Cummin and Andrew Standing captaining the 1st and 2nd teams respectively. Please feel free to approach them face-to-face or electronically to find out more about the club:
