saw the club as real contenders in the Merit League 2 earning victories against AAC and AMS. Next year we will compete again, looking to improve our position and solidify our place as real title challengers for the title in the future.
Sgt Chennell
The future of the club looks bright, under top level coaching from SSgt (SSI) R Slade-Jones RAPTC our performance is always improving. Recruitment from new members of the RAPTC and the rest of the Corps are noticing what an incredible opportunity it is to be part of a special club at a special time. The club now looks forward to a challenging season ahead with the social element continuing to burn bright with Brighton 7’s in the summer, National Memorial Arboretum (NMA) xture against Litch eld, 16 Sept 2017 and an overseas tour already in the pipeline for 2019. The energy in the locker room is powerful, the commitment on the eld is incredible and the bond forged between the players is permanent, the RAPTC RFC is the club to be a part of!
