President’s Welcome
As President I am delighted to extend a warm, heartfelt welcome to all our members, supporters, visiting teams and match officials to our wonderful club, Cobham Rugby for the 2025/26 Season.
​
Last season, we once again witnessed many great moments across all sections – typified by the youth and girls’ sections, both of which increased in numbers with great efforts by our leadership team. The annual early season Girls 10s festival was very well attended, as was our Under 12 Boys 7s tournament, which prepared them for success at the Monaco 7’s.
Our Under 14s and Under 16s Boys also competed at the top level of the Surrey Cups. All of this was made possible by the commitment of the players, parents and a fantastic coaching team, including a few guest coaches, Marcus Watson, Grace Crompton and Shaunagh Brown.
With a home Women’s Rugby World Cup this autumn, so we hope to see a further influx of budding Red Roses at Fairmile Lane. Our large mini section continues to provide a fantastic experience for all members, enhanced by the family touch rugby sessions on Saturday morning. In terms of Senior Rugby, we look forward to more fun, exciting, attacking free-running rugby across all senior teams.
In summary, Cobham Rugby is a great place to enjoy our sport – friendly atmosphere, great facilities and a fantastic team running the club, the grounds and the clubhouse. I’d like to acknowledge the dedication of our executive committee, members and volunteers, whose hard work keeps the club running smoothly.

That said, the club is a members' club, run by volunteers – thank you to all our volunteers for your time and dedication – please, if you have time, ask me or any committee member how you can help! We have several key roles that need filling, so please do ask what you can do to help your club develop further.
Finally, thank you to all our generous sponsors. We deeply appreciate your continued support, and I encourage ALL our members to support you in return whenever possible.
Thank you all for your continued and unwavering support.
