The Black Baa Baas was formed in September 1994 by a group of Old Rugbeians, who wanted to play Rugby together as a team after university. The ethos of the team was to epitomise the true amateur spirit of the game and run a nomadic side that can draw players from a large pool, eliminating the pressure of constant playing for those who have other commitments.
Though the club is now in its 9th season and is a member of the RFU we do not play in a league. Our standard of rugby is high and competitive, though the emphasis is on enjoyment. With the decline of the number of teams the professional clubs put out and increasing work commitments of many who want to play our membership is growing with more players wanting to play rugby on their own terms, which they can do with us.

We play touch in Battersea Park as a way of training and although it is heavily encouraged, it is not obligatory. We are currently sponsored by the Legless Tup Pub on Waterford Road in Fulham, which also acts as a convivial club house. Subscription is currently £40 per annum and there are match fees of £4 per game. We are always looking to strengthen our squad, if you are interested please call Jules Samuel on 020 7953 6031 at work or E-Mail him on julian.samuel@markelintl.com
