🏉 Welcome to Christ Church Men’s Rugby 🏉
Our club is one built across the university, with students ranging from first-timers to seasoned players. Â All of whom share in the love of Rugby. Â The club is built on inclusivity, passion, competitiveness, and a deep history with many traditions.Â
This year, with the new season, we aim to bring a fresh, energetic approach to all those who enjoy rugby. From intense training sessions and competitive BUCS fixtures to socials and team events, Canterbury Christ Church Men’s Rugby is about more than just what happens on the pitch. We’re a close-knit community that supports each other, builds lasting friendships, and represents the university with pride.
Our games are played on Wednesdays across the country, combining home and away games for you to enjoy. We hold training every Monday and Friday. We also hold socials on Wednesdays. Â Then at the end of the year, Varsity against UKC. Outside of intense training and games, we are known for holding some of the best events throughout the year. Â Â
We have a long and proud standing with Canterbury Rugby Club. This allows all those to train and play with the Club across 5 men's teams. This is a great opportunity for new and seasoned players to gain more experience.Â
Men's Rugby at CCCU is a family with lots of opportunities on and off the pitch. We can’t wait to welcome new faces this September and continue building something special together.
