Senior Men’s XV & 2nd XV

Mud, muscle, and match-day magic.

Our senior squad brings experience, heart, and no small amount of banter to the pitch. Whether it’s defending home turf or chasing a last-minute try on the road, they play on Saturdays with pride — and probably a bit of tape on every joint.

Train With Us

Thinking about lacing up your boots again — or for the first time? We train Wednesday evenings at the Clubhouse Grounds. All skill levels welcome, whether you're match-fit or just fancy a run in good company.

Come for the rugby, stay for the team spirit. Questions? Drop us a line or just turn up — there's usually someone brewing tea or cracking a joke.

Youth Development

Energy, teamwork, and a lot of muddy socks.

From minis to U16s, our youth squads fill the pitches and clubhouse every Sunday with the kind of buzz only grassroots rugby can bring. It’s fun, fierce, and foundational — with lifelong skills forged alongside friendships and bacon butties.

Led by our army of RFU-qualified, DBS-checked coaches, we welcome players of all experience levels. Game time is guaranteed, and every child gets the support they need to grow — in confidence, skills, and love for the sport.

Train With Us

Training takes place every Sunday morning, plus selected sessions midweek. Don’t worry if you’re new — you'll be welcomed warmly.

Think rugby might be right for your child or teenager? We’d agree. Reach out via the contact page, or just come along one Sunday morning. We’ll be ready with open arms and open pitches.

Valkyries – Women’s Rugby

Agility meets tenacity — and don’t underestimate the banter.

Our Valkyries squad plays with passion, precision, and a fierce sense of pride. Whether it’s dominating in the scrum or cheering each other on from the sideline, they redefine teamwork every time they hit the pitch.

Formed three years ago, this hugely impressive group of ladies develop week on week through their Thursday training sessions, with fixtures played on Sunday afternoons . Any ladies looking to get involved, keep fit and be part of an amazing social group are very welcome.

Train With Us

We train on Thursday evenings with additional joint sessions throughout the season. Friendly faces, serious drills, and post-session laughs guaranteed.

Bring boots or just bring yourself. Questions? Pop by the Clubhouse or drop us a message. We’ll have the kettle on and the tackle bags ready.

Veterans XV

Rooted in tradition, ready to grow.

We’re laying the foundations for a Vets XVs — squads that blend seasoned players and a shared love for the game. Whether it’s giving old boots another run-out or welcoming newcomers into the fold, this is rugby with heart and heritage.

RFU Club Accreditation achieved by CIRUFC

Club rugby lies at the heart of rugby in England. It is where the game is played in huge numbers and it is the environment that the RFU Development Department is committed to supporting by ‘strengthening clubs and growing the game in the communities around them’.

As a club we have shown our commitment and completed the RFU Club Accreditation process. The process has helped us to become stronger, more effective, more efficient and is making Canvey Rugby Club a more enjoyable place in which to play rugby. The framework the scheme provides helps us review what we are doing, how we do it, and where we can improve.

Although a challenging process it has allowed our club to exhibit all that is good about rugby in our adult sections, mini and youth, women and girls and touch rugby, while demonstrating that this is all achieved in a friendly, welcoming environment.

RFU Club Accreditation will bring many advantages for us. Including the Sport England Clubmark for your mini and youth section. It gives us credibility with local authorities and educational establishments and confer the status of the RFU brand to attract potential sponsors.
