As one of the most successful London clubs of the last 10 years, we hope to continue our rapid rise through the leagues whilst maintaining the friendly and relaxed nature of Old Elthamians.
The 1st XV are have been playing in the Powergen London 3 South East for the last couple of years and are currently focused on developing a youthful team to make a challenge for promotion.
The 2nd XV play in the Shepherd Neame Invicta League, another step up from last season. The standard of rugby now matches that played by the 1st XV only a couple of seasons ago and is a great arena in which a mix of budding youngsters can make their case for a 1st team place alongside some seasoned veterans.
The 3rd XV play in the Kent Metropolitan Conference League and are the more socially focused team in the club. A great place to start if you are keen to play rugby for the first time, or make your first comeback since those distant school days.
Old Elthamians is also renowned for it's Mini and Youth rugby section, which has produced many of the current stars of the club and also a couple of have gone on to gain both Premiership and International honours.
We always welcome players of all levels. If you'd like to join us just turn up on a Wednesday and introduce yourself or contact
