Welcome to the Centenary Celebration of Sevenoaks RFC - a proud milestone marking 100 years of rugby and community. Since being founded in 1925 at Hitchin Hatch Lane, Sevenoaks RFC has grown into a thriving and inclusive club. From the introduction of the Mini & Youth section in 1978, to the emergence of a women’s section in 1992, to our promotion into the National Leagues in 2022/23 - we are incredibly proud of how far we’ve come.
We are very lucky to have incredible members that have helped us get to where we are today, ranging from members, players, staff & volunteers. To find more information out about the history of the club and to read more about our journey over the past 100 years, please click HERE.
We are very excited to start our Centenary season. Celebrations are already underway…

Help our Centenary Fund reach £100,000
As our Centenary season continues, we are reaching out to all members to ask for your support of the Club's Centenary Fund. Thanks to incredibly generous donations, the Centenary Fund is almost half-way towards its £100,000 target.
If you can, we would welcome donations from £100 upwards. Each donation will be marked with a named, commemorative plaque in the Clubhouse. Your support will be greatly appreciated and seed a further 100 years of Sevenoaks Rugby Club, creating more rugby experiences for future generations. To donate please contact Wooly or Nick Thompson.
In the short video above, Club President Mike Wooldridge and Director of Rugby, Adam Bowman explain the importance of the Fund and the role your kind donations will play.
New Shirts Please! - Saturday 4th October 2025
In our fixture against Bury St Edmunds, we debuted our new Centenary Traditional Match Shirts. The shirts were designed to replicate the original playing shirts first worn in 1925, with a white collar and larger navy and gold hoops. We are proud to honour the first ever team that played for our club and look forward to many more years of the Mighty Oaks.
First National League Game Of Our Centenary Season - Saturday 6th September 2025
Our first National League game of the Centenary Season saw the Mighty Oaks travel to face Esher, who were relegated into National League 2 East at the end of last season. In a hard-fought contest, the team showed real grit and determination, laying down a solid foundation for what promises to be a landmark year. The honour of scoring the first try of our Centenary campaign went to Harrison Chapman. While the result didn’t go our way (24-12), there were plenty of positives to take away from the performance.
Centenary Ball - Saturday 6th September 2025
What a night to remember! Our Centenary Ball was an absolute success, with over 300 members - past and present - gathering to celebrate this special milestone in the club's history.
The evening was catered for by Tandem Catering, and the dance floor was kept alive by the incredible Soul Reason, who had everyone on their feet. It was fantastic to see everyone looking their best in black tie, enjoying great food, music, and company. A truly memorable celebration of 100 years!
Centenary Golf Day - Wednesday 4th June 2025
In June, we continued the celebrations for our centenary year in style, with the clubs first ever Golf Day held at Sweetwoods Golf Club.
The overall winning team were awarded the Lee Adamson Trophy, which was first introduced at the Oaks Golf Society in 2020 to represent togetherness created through difficult times, the rugby club that brings us together, and most importantly a tribute to Lee Adamson - forever a mighty oak.
Congratulations to our winners: Michael Wooldridge, Roger McKerlie, Trevor Nicholson, Phil Hamilton.
Centenary City Lunch - Wednesday 26th March 2025
In March 2025, we kicked off our Centenary Celebrations with an unforgettable Centenary City Lunch, hosted at Balls Brothers Minster Court with over 100 guests joining us for what turned out to be a fabulous day!
Following the delicious three-course meal consisting of Mighty Oak Smoked Salmon, Steak, Chocolate Tart and Cheeseboards we were treated to valuable, interesting and funny insights from legends of the game: Tom May, Craig Chalmers, and Robert Jones.
Aztech Acorns
Aztech generously donated a beautifully carved piece of oak with our centenary logo on, which now stands proudly inside our clubhouse. This thoughtful gesture is just one example of their long-standing support as sponsors of the club.
In July 2024, Aztech also donated our Mighty Oak Acorn, that can be found by the entrance to the 1XV pitch. Pictured below are Adam Ashworth (owner of Aztech) and Ian Burmeister (member of the 23/24 Senior Men’s playing squad) both with the acorn.
Centenary Logo
What does our Centenary logo represent? An acorn - to represent our mighty heritage. A modern leaf - symbolising future growth. The leaves are arranged like open arms to symbolise family. The centenary logo is a direct tribute to an iconic and retro look.
Pictured below is Willy Pickance, wearing one of the ‘old-school’ sweatshirts that helped to inspire our new centenary logo.
