Community Outreach Programme Update: Making a Difference in Local Schools

We are excited to share some fantastic news about the ongoing success of our Community Outreach Programme. In partnership with Spartan Sport Development, we have been able to introduce the sport of rugby to students within our local community, who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to engage in the sport we all know and love. We also support teachers to enable them to deliver rugby sessions through our CPD and training.

Through this programme, we aim to deliver over 200 hours of high-quality coaching to more than 1,000 students in and around Sevenoaks. We are already working with a number of local primary schools, including St Laurence Primary School, Otford Primary School, Crockham Hill Primary School, as well as many others. It has been an incredibly rewarding experience for all involved, and we cannot wait to see even more students benefit from this initiative.

As part of the programme, we offer a range of activities to help give students access to professional rugby coaching:

- After school clubs

- PE lessons

- Rugby themed days (perfect to celebrate the upcoming British and Irish Lions Tour!)

- Healthy living days  

If you are a local school and would like to find out how we can support your students and staff with our outreach programme, please do not hesitate to get in contact. We would love to discuss how we can work together to create more opportunities for young people in our community.

🏆2024/25 End of Season Awards🏆

🏆2024/25 End of Season Awards🏆

On Friday, we rounded off a great season with our Annual End of Season Dinner Awards. Thank you to our guest speaker Nick Easter for attending and sharing insights into the game. It was great to reflect upon what a fantastic year it has been for every section of the club.

In their debut competitive season in NC3 South East, Sevenoaks RFC’s Women’s 1XV achieved remarkable success. A highlight of the season was their 9 game winning streak, and of course - their promotion into NC2 South East! The Women’s section of the club continues to grow, and we can’t wait to keep this momentum going into next season.

It was another great season for our Senior Men’s team too which saw our 3XV be promoted to Counties 4 Kent, and our 2XV finish third in their new league, and the 1XV finish in our highest National League position yet!

Our U18 girls won the triple! It was great to see them win the league, the Kent cup, and county 7’s for the third year in a row. The U16 girls were also successful in winning the Kent Plate at the Paddock in March. The boy’s academy played some outstanding rugby. Although there were some struggles with consistency, the boys knocked last season's winner out of the National Cup and finished 3rd in the Kent League.

The mini and youth sections also had another brilliant season. The U14s and U15s both enjoyed cracking Tours to Belgium and France, meeting up themselves at Beernem, and the U12s and U13s enjoyed the fantastic Great Yarmouth festival. Week in, week out, the players have shown up, committed to each other, and have represented this club with pride, grit, and heart. This season wasn’t just about the wins or losses - it was about player and team development. There has been a massive growth, not just in skills and ability, but also in character, teamwork, and resilience. All wrapped up with a lot of fun, on and off the pitch. Well done and congratulations to all players, parents, coaches, support staff and volunteers that have been involved.

Now - time to announce the winners of the 2024/25 senior awards. Congratulations to all involved!

We have lost a mighty oak….

It’s with a heavy heart that we have to announce that Roy Smith, another Mighty Oak, has fallen.

Roy was at the club only last weekend, cheering on the boys against Havant and it’s fitting that we ended the season on a high for him at the very least. He was with not only his son Mark, but was watching his grandson, Finn help bring home the win!

Today we raise a glass to Roy as he joins the rest of our Mighty Oaks as they look out for us all in everything we do!

More details to follow.

Emily Jackson House Care Home Residents Visit The Paddock!

On Saturday we welcomed two residents, and their family members, from Emily Jackson House Care Home to The Paddock for our final game of the season against Havant.

The residents that joined us for the game are keen rugby fans, having played the sport in their youth, including one who proudly represented Gloucester at a professional level! The day was made even more memorable as we celebrated one of the resident’s 95th birthday.

It was a fantastic afternoon - made even better by sunny weather, a great win for the Mighty Oaks and plenty of cake to go around!

I see how much work goes into this project, therefore I am running the London marathon on behalf of Guys Cancer to hopefully raise £3,000 for the charity to help them keep changing lives.Guys Cancer Charity uses donations to help fuel innovation and advances in cancer care, fund pioneering new approaches and advances in cancer treatment and enhance support for the cancer team.

🎉Congratulations to our U18 and U16 Girls!🎉

Comment

🎉Congratulations to our U18 and U16 Girls!🎉

This weekend saw both our U18 Girls and U16 Girls win the Kent Cup and Plate in two entertaining and impressive games of rugby played at The Paddock!

U18’s

On Sunday, the Under 18’s had their toughest game of the Kent season in the Cup Final against a well drilled BeccsValley team.

BeccsValley had most of the ball in the first 15 minutes but the BullOaks defence remained strong and organised. After a big first quarter the BullOaks found their feet and started advancing in attack, which resulted in a superbly well worked try by Niamh Sutherland in the first half. 

The second half started in the same way as the first half ended with the BullOaks on the front foot. This game was never going to be a try fest with both teams so proficient in defence. BullOaks tested BeccsValley's resolve with phase after phase of attack. Eventually Bulloaks were rewarded with an exceptionally well worked try off a set piece, dividing BeccsValley defenders with Imogen Mockford racing over the line to score BullOaks second try. Both trys were masterfully converted by Niamh Sutherland taking the final score to 14-0.

The U18 Girls have won the Kent League and Cup for three years running. What a great way to finish the league and cup season, adding to the successful history of the U18's campaign in this competition.

The last part of this teams journey this season is the Kent 7’s, and we wish them all the very best.

U16’s

Sevenoaks Under 16 Girls finished the season off with a hard fought victory in the Kent Plate Final against local rival Tonbridge Juddians.

An early kick off at the paddock in glorious sunshine set the tone for the day with lots of tries and running rugby. Sevenoaks opened their account with a try from Sienna Bennett ably converted by Olivia Norley. TJs answered with a try in the corner to make the score 5-7 to Sevenoaks. This back and forth continued throughout the game with Daisy Dennis dotting down and the extras coming from Olivia. TJs responded with a converted try to make it 14-12.

After some great defensive work from the Sevenoaks pack, the ball was turned over inside TJ’s 22 and Lucy Aleppo scored out wide, followed almost immediately by TJs scoring to go in at halftime with the score 17-19 to Sevenoaks.

The second half was just as equally matched with the TJ’s fly half kicking superbly from hand and putting the Sevenoaks backline under pressure which they managed to weather well until a break down on the left wing by Emelia Smith who offloaded from the floor to Jess Carroll who dived over into the corner for a fantastic team try. 17-24.

The next 15 minutes showed serious grit and determination by both sides with the play rarely entering either 22 due to some massive defensive efforts. TJs then scored one under the posts after a break away run through the middle which was again converted to make the score 24-24 with five minutes to go.

Just as both teams were preparing for extra time, TJs took advantage of a penalty taken quickly and scored almost under the posts. TJ’s flyhalf, put off by an effective charge down, uncharacteristically missed the conversion making the score 29-24 to TJs. With mere seconds left on the clock, Darcey Rummun scythed through the opposition backline to put the ball down under the posts and Olivia Norley handled the pressure admirably to slot the extras for a well deserved victory. 29-31 to Sevenoaks.

Lifting the plate at the Paddock was a fitting end to a fantastic season. With the Kent Sevens coming up, we wish the girls the very best of luck and huge congratulations for their progress this year.
