Sutton & Epsom RFC
An amateur community rugby club
Parliament has today voted in favour of the Government’s national lockdown proposals aimed at curbing the increase in Covid-19 cases in England, which take effect from tomorrow (Thursday 5 November) until Wednesday 2 December. In addition, the Government has announced the cessation of all community team sports during this period, which applies to Age Grade and Adult rugby activities below Championship and Premier 15s….more…
Under powers delegated by Council, the RFU Governance Committee have made the difficult decision that, with the exception of Premiership, Championship and Premier 15s rugby, no organised* RFU or non-RFU Leagues including merit tables, adult or age grade competitions will be played before January 2021 at the earliest.

Mini and Junior training commenced on 6th September. Given the present conditions rugby has unfortunately been especially affected due to the contact nature of the game, but as a club we have worked tirelessly to ensure that every age group is allocated a training time on a Sunday and all precautions have been taken and RFU guidelines adhered too. Thank you to all who have made this happen.
Starting from this Sunday and for the foreseeable future the age groups will be training at the following times:
U5 & U8s
9.00-10.00 at the Club
U6 & U7s
10.30-11.30 at the Club
