Thamesians is a well-established club in the Twickenham area. Indeed, we are the only amateur club in Twickenham and the nearest to the home of English rugby. Formed in 1962, originally by ex-pupils of Thames Valley Grammar School, the club is now open to all players interested in a combination of competitive, social and champagne rugby.
The club prides itself on its friendly and welcoming atmosphere and is accommodating to players of all standards and drinking capabilities. The clubhouse on Twickenham Green provides an excellent home for the players, families and supporters.
It is recommended that all members register as certain areas are only available to members of the site.
It started badly though... fashion wise .. A marroon apology of a polo shirt complete with over saturated dye was duly distributed with the best of intentions.

I am sorry to report that not even the best looking boy on tour looked remotely attractive in this vile garment. Added to which, should the offending article come into contact with any surface - I beg of you- do not try this at home - it will impart a deep swathe of murky violet dye. (click for full report)

Firstly, thanks to all the boys that braved the weather yesterday to keep us in touch with chess valley and secondly for the way you all kept dragging yourselves out of the mud to make the next tackle, to carry the next ball and to get to the next break down which ultimately won us the game.
