We are Beccehamian Women's Rugby Team, part of Beccehamian Rugby Football Club based at Sparrow's Den, West Wickham, North Kent, England. The ladies team has been running for eight year now, being formed in 1999 and is fully affiliated and insured with the Womens Rugby Football Union (RFUW). We are playing in National Challenge Division 2 SE-E for the 2007-2008 season. Beccehamian Rugby Football Club was formed in 1933 by former pupils of Beckenham County School for Boys and was originally called Old Beccehamian Rugby Football Club. The club originally played at the school in Langley Park and still maintains close ties with Langley Park Boys School. The club is based at Sparrow's Den, West Wickham where the current clubhouse was opened in 1972, build through a joint proposal from the club and the London Borough of Bromley. Beccehamian Ladies Rugby Team was formed in 1999 by rugby enthusiast Yvonne Baxter. The team has flourished and grown becoming fully affiliated and insured with the RFU-W and membership increasing considerably. The team played their first competitive season within the RFU-W structure during the 2002-2003 season and had a successful year becoming Division 5 SE-E Merit League Champions. The ladies also took part in the National Cup for the first time with a first round win over Division 3 SE Sidcup before being knocked out in the 2nd round by Division 2 (SE) Camberley. In 2003-2004 the ladies were promoted two leagues to Division 3 SE-E where they had an enjoyable and sucessful season finishing second. For the last couple of years the ladies have been playing in Division SE-E and SE-W but for 2007 they will now be playing in National Challnge Division 2 SE-E.
