Welcome to Maidstone F.C, the rugby club at the heart of Kent’s County Town.
Formed in 1880, the club is amongst the oldest in the country and has for many years played its rugby at the picturesque Mote Cricket Ground, adjacent to Mote Park and the Mote Leisure Centre.
Almost unique in Kent Rugby, we run 6 senior men’s sides every Saturday (7 on occasions) during the season and with a highly successful Youth and Minis section running sides from U18’s down to U7’s on Sundays, the club has a successful playing structure and membership of over 500.
The 1st XV are amongst the top tier of Kent based clubs and play league rugby in London 1 (South) (National Level 6), whilst the 2nd XV (Mustangs) have been one of the main contenders in the highly competitive Invicta League Division 1. The club’s 3rd XV also compete in the Invicta League whilst the 4th & 5th XVs play fixtures within the county’s Mid-Kent league structure
As well as 5 men’s team playing League Rugby, we are one of very few clubs in Kent that put out a genuine Veterans side every week. The club also competes in the South East regions Evergreen Cup where they have been runners-up for the past two seasons.
At Youth level, amongst many honours we were Kent County Champions at U18 level in 2005/6 and again in 2007/8. The club has a strong youth development policy and as a result a significant number of young players have made the step up to senior rugby, several of whom have shown the ability to play regularly for the 1st team in the past 3 seasons. Amongst them, some have gone on to make an impact at Guiness Premiership, National League and International level.
The integration of youth players into the senior sides has helped the club to 2 successive County Seven's finals in recent seasons, capturing the Cornwallis Cup for 2006/7.
Whilst we are always keen to recruit players who can enhance the 1st team squad, all new players are very welcome at the club, whatever their age, level of experience, ability or aspirations. Click on the link for more details.
On the website you will find dedicated pages for every team and age group at the club, with each page giving details about the teams, fixtures, results, match reports, coach contacts, parents info, news and maybe even a team photo.
The Gallery area for both Seniors and Juniors will show latest and historic matches and events.
We hope that all our members and visitors enjoy our newly up-dated website and find it to be an entertaining and useful place to visit.
We look forward to seeing you at The Mote in 2009/10 to renew old friendships and rivalries and to enjoy many new ones, within our great game of Rugby.
