THE HOME OF HARTPURY RFC
Hartpury RFC are currently one of the top 24 clubs in England and have been instrumental in furthering the development of talented rugby players studying at Hartpury. Giving Hartpury recruits the perfect opportunity to experience National League rugby as part of their development, the Saturday team have experienced a swift rise through the league system since their formation back in 2004.
Mixing youth with experience, the RFC also has excellent links with Aviva Premiership side Gloucester Rugby, whose training base is located adjacent to the first-team pitch at Hartpury. The close relationship between the two has seen a number of dual-registered players, all of who are current or recently departed Hartpury students, pulling on the red and black Hartpury jersey as well as the Cherry and Whites strip.
The RFC has also produced full internationals for England, Ireland and Wales, as well as some of the emerging rugby nations, such as Canada, Georgia and Zimbabwe. Offering talented players the chance to experience a professional rugby club atmosphere, we have established an outstanding track record of developing players alongside furthering their education.

Current form aside, Pirates clearly pose a big…
Doncaster Knights 28 – Hartpury RFC 17
Hartpury were unfortunate to leave Doncaster with nothing to show for their efforts. A strong third quarter display from the Knights, topped off by late interception try, denied them even a bonus point after leading at half time. In conditions which more resembled January than early September – it rained…
Hartpury little-changed for Doncaster test
Hartpury RFC, following last Friday’s encouraging opening-week win over 2017 Championship runners-up, Yorkshire Carnegie, are largely unchanged ahead of the visit to Doncaster Knights this Saturday. Tight-head, Rupert Harden, who left the field in the first quarter of last week’s game with an ankle injury, is the only non-starter from…
