Kick-off times and further details will be confirmed soon, and keep your eyes peeled for our upcoming socials too 👀

A massive welcome back to Haines Commercials Ltd, one of St Francis RFC’s newest club partners! 🙌

Haines Commercials first came on board midway through last season, and we’re delighted that they have continued their partnership with the club for the new season.

A huge shout-out to Vinnie Haines for his support and for becoming part of the St Francis family.

Here’s Vinnie with some of the players, proudly showing off our new training tops, made possible with the support of Haines Commercials.

It’s fantastic to have them on board, and we’re looking forward to continuing the partnership.

Keep your eyes peeled for more partner announcements soon.

Without further ado, here is our league for the 2026/27 season.

We've been placed in Counties 4 Central, alongside: Burgess Hill 2, Crawley 2, Hove 3, and Shoreham 2.

Some top teams with top people in there, and we're really looking forward to facing a few sides we haven't seen in a while.

Now, you're probably looking at that and thinking, "Surely that's not many teams for a league?"

Don't worry, that's because Sussex are using a waterfall league format. We start by playing the teams in our section, and then later in the season teams are regrouped based on their league position and play sides from the other sections.

Confusing? Yes, a little. We'll share the fixtures as soon as they're confirmed, and if you have any questions in the meantime, grab someone at the club and they'll do their best to explain it.

It's also the perfect league for those new to rugby or getting back into it, so if that sounds like you, drop us a DM.
