U10's
Welcome to the under 10's –
This is our second year where the children play competitive “Full Contact” rugby. Following on from three very successful years playing TAG rugby and one season of full contact, it is time for the children to move on and progress in the game. This age group is the current East and Whole of Sussex County Champions having retained this title at the end of last season; this has never been performed by any team in the clubs history.
Our emphasis here is on enjoyment and safety - we want the children to develop a love for the game that comes from having the ball in their hands as often as possible. Our existing groups of children are at various stages of development - some were practically born with a rugby ball in their hands and show tremendous skills, others will have just picked a ball up for the first time. Whatever the level, our coaching team will involve every child and keep them moving at a pace which suits them. Our coaches, Shaun, Morten, Fred, Michael, Neal and I are all level one qualified or working to gain this qualification and have children in this group; we have also been with this group from when they joined the club at U6. We are a very social group and have great support from all the parents and the club.
So if you would like to join a very successful and fun loving team, on Sundays from 10.00 to 12.00 or give me a ring on 07768811914 for more information.Stephen Hart Head Coach and Chair of Mini Section

Crowborough Mini Success. Under 9’s continue long winning streak
On Sunday 7th November Crowborough RFC hosted its 38th Annual Mini Rugby Festival. Over 2000 people attended including around over 800 children from the ages of 7 to 12 from a number of clubs in Kent and Sussex, such as Sevenoaks and Hayward’s Heath.
Stephen Hart, Chair of Mini Section, Event Organiser and Head Coach of U9 team said “this is a major event for the club each year and needs a lot of planning, but I am glad to say the day went well and some fantastic rugby was played”.
The under 9’s entered 2 teams the Lions and the Tigers.
The Under 9 Lions have continued there three year winning streak with a great display of very gutsy performances on the day. Having won the Hastings festival with ease they went in to this festival full of confidence. As the Sussex County Champions they meet the Kent County Champions, Sevenoaks, in their first game. This was a very hard fought game but ended in a draw at 0 – 0. The team progressed trough the pool stage and ended up in the Cup Semi Final with Tunbridge Wells, this ended with a Crowborough victory by 1 try.
This put them in the Cup final with Sevenoaks. Both teams played the sort of Rugby you would expect from a pair of County Champions and resulted in a 1-1 draw at the end of full time. As the teams had played twice that day and drawn on both occasions it was decide to share the cup.
The Tigers played in there first festival this season and performed very well. They continued to improve with each game and got into the Plate final. Here they came up against a very strong Hayward’s Heath. The Tigers played very well against such strong opposition and only conceded one try. So the tigers came away with the Plate runners up trophy and this was well deserved.
If anyone want to join such a successful and vibrant club please ring Stephen Hart on 07768811914.

Season 2009/2010Crowborough RFC Under 8’s Crowned Sussex Champions
On Sunday 11th April, the annual Sussex Rugby Finals took place between the East (Crowborough) and West Sussex (Chichester) County Champions at Pulborough RFC.
The under 8 section was represented by Crowborough and Chichester, the current Sussex Champions, and kicked off at 11.05.
As you would expect at this level the game was being played by two very well drilled and disciplined sides. The first half witnessed some excellent free flowing rugby and ended 4 all. The second half was a very different story, Crowborough were devastating in defence causing Chichester to make many errors that were then converted into possession and try scoring opportunities.
The final score was 7 – 4 to Crowborough who are now the whole of Sussex Country Champions.
Stephen Hart, under 8 head coach and Chair of the Mini section for Crowborough, said “this is great result for the team who have worked so hard this year. It is also excellent for our club to be represented at this level, especially when you consider the size of Crowborough when compared to Brighton etc” . Stephen also said” it has been a very long time since the club won this title and it is a reflection of the commitment, team work , dedication to rugby, each other and the club shown by the Under 8 players and coaches.
The Under 8’s have been very successful this year winning four festivals including the Crowborough B Festival just before Easter. Stephen said “ it is a privilege to be working with such a remarkable group children, coaches and parents and I believe that our success comes from this combination”.
The team on the day was, Reubin Hart, Rafael Singleton, Scott Robinson, Samuel Ayres, Jake Reet-O’Neil, Jack Kingham, Samuel Marchesi, Hayden Tibbals, Henry Martin and Daniel Young.
