OH Exiles RFC: New Name, Same Spirit

OH Exiles RFC: New Name, Same Spirit

Harry Clesham19 Jul - 01:47

A New Chapter for Our Historic Club

After a tough financial setback, our rugby club is starting from scratch. But in true grassroots spirit, the players have rallied together, forming a new company and setting up a fresh account to fund the season ahead. To reflect this transitional period, we’ll be competing this year under a new banner: OH Exiles RFC.

Despite the challenges, we’re proud to confirm that both our 1st XV and 2nd XV will be playing full league seasons in Counties 2 Surrey and Level 9 respectively. Fixtures are confirmed, and we’ve secured a home ground, a training facility, and a new rugby coach to help us build for the future. Our goal remains to return to playing under the original OHRFC name at Ruxley Lane, once we’ve navigated this critical chapter.

We’re calling on the community—past players, supporters, friends, and rivals—to help us keep grassroots rugby alive. Whether it’s a small donation or sharing our story, every bit of support counts as we protect a legacy built over more than 100 years.

We’re also on the lookout for new players to join us for the 2025–26 season!
Here’s what you can expect:
• 1st XV (Level 8), 2nd XV (Level 9), and Vets/3rd XV sides
• Professional coaching and matchday physio
• Training once a week in Battersea Park
• Social events, international tours, ticket access
• A welcoming and ambitious rugby environment

If you’re based in South West London or Surrey and looking for a new club, send us a DM on Instagram and join the journey: here
