Drifters Rugby Football Club Description
Welcome to the official Drifters Rugby Football Club Facebook page.
We run three senior adult male sides and a colts team. The 1st XV compete in Southern Counties North, the 2nd XV in Berks Bucks & Oxon Division 2, and the 3rd XV is Thames Valley Invitation League Division A. The Colts play in the OBB Colts Leagues. There is also a Vice President's /Vets team which plays occasional friendly matches.
Drifters - an RFU Accredited Club founded in 1963 - also has a thriving juniors and minis section that has received the RFU Community Rugby Seal of Approval.
Seniors training is held every Tuesday and Thursday evening at Farnham Common Sports Club from 7-9pm and all abilities are welcome to attend.
Off the field activities are equally important to the Drifters. We hold barbecues, race nights, discos, annual dinner dances and every Easter we enjoy a Tour (usually overseas) that is the envy of the rugby world! These activities are a key part of the rugby club – we play hard off the field as well as on it! The club's gold, black and magenta blazer is a familiar local sight on Saturday nights with one nightclub only too pleased to grant wearers free admission!
As part of the larger Farnham Common Sports Club, we also offer exceptional social and changing facilities as well as the opportunity to join our other sports sections.
Funding from Sport England and Rugby Football Foundation recently allowed us to complete a significant redevelopment, ensuring that our sports and social facilities remain first class. You are most welcome to join us, whether to play competitive rugby, social rugby or just become a Drifters supporter!
DATB!

🌳🏉 Drifts welcome Tadley RFC to One Pin Lane for our first home game of the 2018/19 season on Saturday 15th September!
Kick off is 3pm but the Bar will be open from Midday so it would be great to have as many spectators down to cheer the lads on as possible and make One Pin Lane into the fortress it once was! 🏉🌳
Mini’s, friends, family and Dogs all welcome!
