The Brigands welcomed Beccehamians II to Well Hall for a top-of-the-table clash. Beccehamians had started their league campaign strongly, dropping their only points to Sidcup the week before in a high-scoring encounter. They arrived sitting just below the Brigands in the standings. The Brigands, still unbeaten, but after two bruising fixtures against Edenbridge and Old Elthamians, were showing the effects …
The Bandits were on the road again, this time heading into town to face Southwark 2nd XV in Burgess Park, Camberwell. This is a Club the Bandits had played a few times before, usually victorious, and the previous outing last season had seen Club comfortable 14-64 winners. It was a very different looking Bandits side this time however as most …
The weekend’s Bandits fixture had so much to it outside the actual rugby from a touch of rugby history and family connections to striking similarities between the recent experiences of both teams. Old Dunstonians were a bit of an unknown quantity with none of the club men having played them before, but we did know that like the Bandits a …
The Brigands travelled to Old Elthamians for a derby game that was terrific for the neutrals but no good for the heart. Starting brightly the club looked to work phases but the hosts soon began to wrest control, helped by Club indiscipline and the home fly half’s excellent kicking game. However, it was a Club counterattack that led to the …

Another strong display from the Brigands on Saturday saw them put 50 points on an organised Edenbridge side to remain top of Kent 5 with three wins in three. Outside centre Alex Omeyer stole the show with four tries, although his centre partner Dafydd Lloyd just got his nose in front for the man of the match award with some …
The Bandits’ first home match of the season had everything, borrowed players, a hooker with afterburners, and enough tries to fill a highlights reel. Top of the Kent Met and keen to stay there, the lads welcomed Croydon RFC, mysterious new arrivals from the Surrey leagues. Croydon arrived with 12, so under “game on” rules the Bandits could keep 15, …
The season has begun strongly for the section, recording five convincing wins in play across two leagues. The section is setting a benchmark in the leagues, playing a hard running and open style of Rugby. Numbers in the section continue to grow, with new joiners from age group, players returning to rugby, dads trying out the game, along with completely …
Saturday, 13th September 2025. The second instalment of the social section’s Saturday afternoon came with the Bandits adventuring to Westcombe Park, and despite the best efforts of South London traffic a hearty and strong squad assembled in Orpington to round out the fourth fixture of the day for the Mens’ teams. The sun managed to shine through as the team …
Saturday, 13th September 2025. The Brigs faced their first tough test of the new season at home against Sidcup IIIs, and came through it convincingly despite the visitors taking an early lead and pressing the Club side hard throughout. Though the first half was very even, the Brigands pulled away in the second half and finished up 43-12 winners. Sidcup …
