Heathfield & Waldron RFC is a successful and developing locally-based club which plays the best rugby in the area but remembers that having fun is also important. New members, players, parents and supporters of any age, gender, shape and physical ability are always welcome!

Players & Teams

The First Team play in London South East 3. Nationally this is level 8 and other clubs in the league include Uckfield, Aylesford, Pulborough & Bromley. We are the smallest in this league in terms of the size of the local population.

There is real competition for places in the 1st XV. About 35 players appear for the 1st team in a typical season so we need plenty of depth in all positions. Attendance at training is essential if you want to be picked for the best team. The lower teams have a more traditional approach to training. Most of the 1st XV squad are locals who have come through the club’s junior teams. Several of them are the sons of former players so pitch-side advice is plentiful and (well?) informed.

The Ladies 1XV are now in their third season and play in National Challenge
South 1 having won the league back to back and duly being promoted.

The complete list of teams representing the club are:

The Development Squad and 3rd Team play in leagues run by Sussex RFU and have recently been having successful seasons.

Juniors and Minis
Success for the senior teams is fuelled by vibrant Junior and Mini Sections, which see over 350 youngsters play and train for the Club across all age levels. And especially the return of our girls section from U13-U18.

Many people will have noticed the sheer numbers that attend the Sunday morning training sessions for the Minis (aka "Heathfield Hurricanes") at the club by the number of cars parked down the road outside! Please check the Car Parking instructions under the Club Info tab on this page!
