Chobham’s first XV lost 50-0 away to Winchester’s first XV last Saturday.

But despite this setback, Chobham is a thriving club, fielding four senior league teams and a veterans side all playing competitive rugby.

These range from the first XV, who play at level six in the RFU league pyramid, through to the Crusaders, who while playing in a league format focus equally on the social aspects of the game.

Chobham has a reputation for being a very well organised and competitive club which has an active and friendly social scene. It attracts players from Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire and London.
