Welcome to the Hove Rugby Club History Site
From 1933 to 2020 – covering Sussex Yeomanry, Post WWII and then Hove Rugby Club in 1952
Select from the links below to view the details or use the menu to the left of every page.:
| Select Decade | Select Decade | Select Decade | Select Decade |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1930s to 1940s | 1950's | 1960's | 1970's |
| 1980's | 1990's | 2000's | 2010's |
The site is split into decades – as best as I can and each decade has a summary. The summary also includes all the various teams from that decade and the level they played so it helps if there are names that you don’t recognise. You can also see the committee structure for the decade under the Governance heading.
In addition, a page is being created for each season that shows the detail that I have for that season. Most pages exist now but there is still a lot of work to be done to get things finished.

The images below show the History Wall at the Club. We have frames up of shirts from Alumni who have represented their countries and also some early photos of the Sussex Yeomen and some frames with all the Club handbooks that we have. These are all scanned in and available on this site.
There is also a Sussex Yeomen cap awarded to Geoffrey Docwra in 1938.
I would like to take this opportutity of thanking Jason, Michelle and Tony at Perfect Print Brighton for their great help in this effort by scanning all the legions of documents and creating the PDFs for me. So, clearly, if anyone here has any printing needs then please do consider using them as they also kindly sponsor the Club.
