Economicals Rugby Club

The Economicals Rugby Club was founded in 1983 by a number of graduating LSE students who wanted to continue to play together. Unlike many university-founded rugby clubs, the club has thrived and now runs two XVs playing competitive rugby most weeks. In 2008 they held a well-attended black tie gala dinner to celebrate the club's 25th anniversary.

1st XV plays in Surrey 2 and competes in the Surrey Shield and RFU Bowl, while the 2nd XV competes in the Surrey Reserve League Conference 4.

"We find the LSE sportsground to be a great standard of facilities when compared to the facilities at clubs that we visit - the pitches and interior areas are both maintained to a much higher standard and Berrylands is convenient for our members to travel to given the swift transport links."

Membership

Non alumni are also welcome.
