In August 2013, Staines RFC could only count five registered players among their ranks. The first team had suffered relegation from National League Three South and the club was in an extremely bleak situation. However, an intense recruitment drive centred on 16-24 year-olds saved Staines from rock bottom. Social media played a big part, encouraging new faces to buy into a fresh era for one of South West London’s prestigious sides. On the back of such a fantastic effort – which now sees around 60 to training every Tuesday and Thursday – Staines were selected to win England Rugby’s #WinCatty competition.
