About Us
Our History
Tim Faiers blames Joe Hodgson (a History Master at Brentwood School) Having helped to establish Rugby as a proper alternative to “soccer” at Brentwood School, Joe was instrumental – along with Phil Unwin (father of Malcolm who was Head Boy of Brentwood School and a formidable prop forward) – in establishing an Old Brentwoods Rugby Club who played their first season in 1967/68. A full fixture list was played on Sundays, all games being away, as we had no access to a home pitch.
Tim, in his first year at Essex University, played for the University on Saturdays and then for the O.Bs on Sundays and continued to play or serve the Club for the next fifty years, including 28 years as Hon Secretary.
Old Brentwoods Society
Old Brentwoods Rugby Club is more than just a place to play rugby—it’s a community built on the core values of the game: respect, teamwork, integrity, discipline, and enjoyment. With a rich history and a welcoming environment, we are proud to offer something for everyone, regardless of age or skill level.
Our club boasts stunning facilities and ample, free parking. Whether you’re new to rugby or have years of experience, you’ll find a place here. We offer a full youth section, covering every school year, all led by DBS-checked coaching staff and supported by a dedicated safeguarding officer, ensuring a safe, inclusive space for young players to grow and thrive in the sport.
For adult players, we proudly support two competitive adult teams and a Vets team, providing options for every level of player. From those wanting to push their limits to those looking to stay active and connected, Old Brentwoods has a team for everyone.
More than just a rugby club, we believe in the power of community. Here, you’ll find the chance to share experiences, build friendships, network, and collaborate with fellow members and supporters. There’s always room to connect, whether on the pitch, at training, or on the sidelines.
Come and join us on a Saturday to catch some action-packed rugby and enjoy a drink at our popular horse box bar, right on the pitchside! We’d love for you to experience the unique atmosphere that makes Old Brentwoods Rugby Club a true community.
See you soon at the club—where rugby and friendship go hand in hand!
