Faversham RUFC was formed in 1992 when a group of players decided to start their own team based in the town. The Club's original home was The Swan and Harlequin pub, near the creek. The team called themselves "The Castaways" based on the fact that they were a mix of people from many different teams in the area, without their own clubhouse. The Club badge was then created, a desert island and palm trees.

 

Over time the Club grew and needed to move, making The Lodge at Faversham Recreation Ground their new home in 1994. Through the hundreds of games and social events since then, many club members have made The Lodge their own "second home".

 

In recent years the club has established itself as an ambitious and inclusive grass roots rugby club, based at The Lodge in Faversham Recreation Ground.  We currently run 2 senior Men’s teams and a senior Ladies’ team.  

Our 1st team competes in Counties 3 Kent (formerly Kent 1), our 2nd team competes in Kent C Rural East (formerly Kent 5 East) and our Ladies’ team continues to grow and is looking forward to playing more competitive matches during the coming season.

 

Having won the Kent Salver for 3 successive seasons, last season our 1st team advanced to compete in the Kent Vase - narrowly losing an exciting final match to Old Gravesendians RFC.  We have an enviable reputation as a welcoming and friendly club with an active and fun social calendar.
