About the team

Our 3rd XV known as the Baa Baas are a home for the spirit of rugby in the club. Playing in Counties 3 Sussex for the 23/24 season, the Baa Baas play for the love of the game and find enjoyment whatever the result. Old and new foes are encountered and friendships forged and built over a lifetime of playing the game. This season sees the rekindling of matches against the likes of Burgess Hill and Steyning whilst the opportunity of a mini tour to Jersey will no doubt be a popular availability weekend! One of the true success stories of the club given the growth in playing numbers over the past 12/24 months is a testament to the "experienced" team headed up by Paul Birch who has managed to get a core or regular attendees at training, whatever the weather and a committed set of players for weekend fixtures.

A home for the retired player wishing for a social run out through to the young inexperienced player needing to learn the game, we welcome everyone! Games can be hard but respect is maintained always. Come along and see what it can be like. Training Tuesdays and Thursdays 7.15 to 8.30pm followed by important rehydration at the bar.
