Olney RFC Men’s Rugby – Develop your game

Proud of our own Rich Heritage, Olney RFC isn't just about local rugby – we're a launchpad for talent aiming higher. Seeing players head to play at higher levels in 15s and 7s is a big part of The Clubs success.

Recent Alumni on the Rise

  • Tommy Herman: After winning Olney’s 1st XV Player & Players’ Player awards, Tommy has stepped up to the Bedford Blues in the Championship for 2024–25—making his debut during a match against The British Army. A true testament to dedication and development
  • Charles Rylands – After a spell with Bedford Blues, Charles returned to the club at the start of last season only to be snapped up by Ampthill for their league and cup campaign. Charles retains his links to the club as he helps coach our U16s
  • Gabbs Mann – Another ex M&J / Colt. Gabbs continued his rugby whilst at university and has now been signed for Ealing Trailfinders
  • It’s not just current players, we have a history of players going to the pro/semi-pro game...and even representing their country: Duncan Talyor, Tom Hardwick, Ed Prowse....
