Aim: We’re raising fundraising for over pitch lighting and solar panels.We are hoping to raise £30,000. Help us light up the game and go green.
We are a community rugby club based on the Knutsford playing fields on Radlett Road in Watford. Family is at the heart of everything we do — from our youngest minis to our senior teams, we pride ourselves on creating a welcoming, inclusive environment for players, supporters, and volunteers alike.
Our core value is simple: One Club for All. Whether you're here to play, coach, cheer, or just be part of something special, there's a place for you at our club
Our vision is to grow the game and strengthen our community by building on the success of our junior girls teams and introducing a full ladies team. To make this a reality, we need to invest in our facilities.
Like many clubs, we’ve seen a sharp rise in energy costs in recent years. By installing solar panels on our clubhouse roof, we can take control of these costs — reducing our environmental impact while redirecting those savings back into the club, where they belong.
We’re also planning to upgrade our pitch lighting. This will give us more flexibility with training schedules, allowing our new ladies team to train alongside the men on club nights. It will also mean better-lit sessions for our thriving minis and junior sections, ensuring a safe and enjoyable environment for all.
With your support, we can take this next step together — for today’s players and the next generation
This project is about more than just facilities — it’s about creating a stronger, more inclusive, and more sustainable future for our entire community.
By introducing a ladies team, we’re opening up new opportunities for women and girls in Watford to stay active, build confidence, and be part of a team environment. It’s a vital step in making rugby truly accessible for everyone.
Improved lighting means more usable space and safer training conditions, allowing us to grow participation across all age groups — from our thriving minis to our expanding junior and senior teams. It also gives us the flexibility to host more community events, school partnerships, and outreach programmes.
The solar panels are a long-term investment not just in our club, but in the environment. Reducing our energy bills means more resources can go back into supporting grassroots sport — where it really makes a difference.
In short, this project will help us continue to be a hub for community sport in Watford — a place where everyone is welcome, and everyone belongs.
Every penny raised will go directly to the contractors and suppliers who have submitted competitive quotations for the work. This includes the purchase and installation of new LED pitch lighting, roof remedial repairs to take solar panel's, batteries and all associated connections
