Hove's First match of the season is at Home to Deal & Betteshanger. Last year, Hove lost both encounters to Deal narrowly on each occasion. Hove will look to start this season's campaign with a win over Deal & Betteshanger on the newly resurfaced First XV Pitch which will see it's first action with this game.

Hove have been working hard in the off season to fully prepare for the new season. Father and son coaching team, Sandy & Alex Robertson have been putting the squad through their paces and have implemented new strategies within the club to improve upon last season.

With the new season comes the return of the front pitches at the Rec. Adam Tunesi and his team have worked tirelessly over the past year in order to get the pitches re-surfaced. Without their hard work and commitment, the pitches would not be ready to play on and the club would have to continue to struggle along with 2 pitches for another season.

As always, this Saturday, we will be hosting a Club Lunch. The first of the new season! If you wish to book a place at the lunch you can contact the club on 01273 505103 or alternatively, you can Email club manager, Gill Mechen on gill.mechen@hoverugby.club.
