Welcome To Ripley Rhinos Rugby Club
Rhinos are a friendly, family rugby union club started in 1996 and who are playing their twelfth season of rugby. We currently run three sides - a Men's 1st XV & 2nd XV and a Women's 1st XV. Last season (2006-2007) the men played friendlies, and in the NLD Vase competition. The Women played in Division 3 East Midlands last campaign, finishing seventh by playing some quality rugby. This year, the women are moved into National Challenge 2 East Midlands and celebrate their tenth season of existence and the men rejoin the Pennant League with the first team and entered the NLD Vase only to lose 20-0 to Chesterfield at home in the quarter finals.
During the season, training for both sides occurs on Thursday nights 7pm-9pm on the brand-new outdoor floodlit Astroturf at Mill Hill School. The majority of our players had not played rugby before they joined us and beginners are always warmly welcomed.

PREVIOUS UPDATES:
| Uttoxeter 1sts decide to play Rhinos in what should have been a match against their 2nds and obviously prove whatever point they were trying to make by winning 97-17 - report here | |
| Rhinos Ladies put in a great defensive display against Stoneygate Ladies 1sts - who are two divisions above them - but go down 59-3 at Mill Hill - report here | |
| A lacklustre performance from the 1sts sees them go down 19-3 at home to Keyworth 2nds in the Pennant League - report here. The magical mystery bus that is the Ripley Rhinos 2nds team stops at Manor Park 2nds but they get overrun 57-12 - report here | |
| Rhino's men have had an enjoyable tour of Holland - the first game saw them playing Diok 1st XV who were using this match as their warm-up to Wednesday's match against a Dutch national select XV and Ripley rarely got out of their half in a 99-0 defeat - match report. The second match at Delft 2nds was much more about tour rugby and Rhinos just lost 24-17 - match report | |
| On a foul day for rugby, Rhinos 1sts go down 10-8 at Mill Hill to Leesbrook 2nds at Mill Hill - report here. The 2nds battle hard against a decent Ashfield 2nds team but go down 34-3 at Moor Lane - report here |
