Ethan, Ben, Ed, Matt, and Josh were all on hand to help run drills and share their experience with the younger players. The focus for the sessions was on key fundamentals that mirror the senior squad’s framework. There were lots of catch and pass drills to kick things off, followed by some great work on the attacking breakdown and team shape.

Big thanks to the senior players who were able to join us for these sessions, and we hope all the mini and youth groups had an informative and enjoyable morning of rugby!

Tag Rugby Festival at The Paddock - A Great Afternoon of Sport and Teamwork

Yesterday, we were thrilled to host a fantastic Year 5 & 6 Tag Rugby Festival here at The Paddock, where 17 local primary schools were in attendance. It was brilliant to see so many girls and boys getting involved in the sport, showing great teamwork, energy, and enthusiasm throughout the festival.

A big thank you to Sevenoaks Town Council for generously allowing us to use the pitches free of charge! And a special mention to Claire Strainge, who did an incredible job organising the event, and to all the volunteers who refereed the games - we couldn’t have done it without you!

Welcome Back & Introducing Our Rugby Management Team

Dear Members,

It’s fantastic to see everyone back at the club and enjoying rugby again as we head into the 25/26 season. The energy across all age groups — minis, youth, academy, men, and women — has been brilliant, and we’re very much looking forward to an exciting season ahead.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to introduce our Rugby Management Group (RMG). This team brings together key leaders from across the club to ensure that our rugby programme is connected, consistent, and of the highest quality — from minis through to seniors, boys and girls, men and women, social to performance. Together, the RMG is responsible for driving the very best provisions across all playing sections of the club. The group meets every 4–6 weeks to discuss all things relating to our rugby programme operations and provision, review progress, and ensure alignment across the club.

Our Rugby Management Group for this season is:

-Director of Rugby (Chair, sits on Club Committee): Adam Bowman
-Head of Mini Rugby (U5–U11): Tim McLaughlin
-Head of Youth Boys Rugby (U12–U15): Cory Blackmore
-Head of Academy Boys Rugby (U16–U18): Mark Reay
-Head of Youth & Academy Girls Rugby (U12–U18): Justine McDonnell
-Head of Senior Men’s Rugby (18+): Adam Bowman
-Head of Senior Women’s Rugby (18+): Kelly Downey
-Head of Medical Services: Harry Holder
-Head of Clubhouse (Bar & Kitchen): Donna Swallow

We’ll continue to align all parts of the club, supporting players, coaches, volunteers, and parents to make sure Sevenoaks RFC remains a place where rugby thrives and everyone feels part of one connected club.

Please feel free to reach out directly to any of the individuals above for support in their area. And of course, you’re always welcome to contact me at coachajbowman@gmail.com or 07969 053912.

Here’s to a great season ahead – see you all at the club this weekend.

Up the Oaks!

Kind regards,
Adam Bowman
Director of Rugby
