The Hawks got their QUINS cup campaign off to a winning start with a hard fought and deserved win against a very strong Esher side. Despite Hove bossing the early exchanges of the game they found themselves behind midway through the 1st half, Esher scoring with their first real entry into Hoves 22. 0-7 But as we have seen of late Hawks are getting good at staying in the fight and coming back strong and before half time a powerful forward set saw Thomas muscle over to level th

Despite the chill in the air, the maroon and blues were pumped up and ready for the match. A strong opening defensive effort was not quite enough to stop Horsham scoring the opening try, but some swift hands put Emma into space, which was all she needed to display her blistering pace and tie the scores (her first try of the season). The first half ebbed and

Hove U16 Girls travelled to Worthing RFC to face a strong combined Worthing/Horsham side and delivered a commanding performance that underlined the squad’s growing confidence, cohesion and physicality. From the opening whistle, Hove set the tone with strong defensive line speed and intelligent breakdown work, allowing them to control both territory and possession. The forwards laid an excellent platform, repeatedly winning collisions and generating quick ball, which allowed t

A big league derby and a superb 19–3 win for Hove. Before kick off, we held a minute’s silence to honour the U14s’ biggest supporter, Dele. Isaac and the boys did him, and all of us, incredibly proud today. Having not trained for a month, there was some natural anxiety about whether the boys could step up for such a big occasion. Any doubts were quickly put to bed. From the opening whistle, Hurricanes pinned Haywards Heath in their own half for the first ten minutes and were

New Year’s Day at Hove Rugby Club can mean only one thing: The Hangover Trophy . Once again, this much-loved tradition delivered a fantastic mix of rugby, camaraderie, and generosity, providing the perfect way to kick off the year. The day began with the future of the club, as our minis and youth sections took to the pitch for training around the club.
