Siamang are proud to announce our Sponsorship of Redingensians RFC.

Redingensians RFC is a community based club located on the outskirts of Reading in Berkshire. Originally formed in 1924 as the Old Boys club of Reading Boys school, it has long since been an open club and prides itself in the role it plays in the local community.

It was the first rugby club in Berkshire to be awarded the RFU Seal of Approval, reflecting the clubs commitment to community sport and sport for all. In addition, the club has won several awards for its work in the community, and it is the partner rugby club of Wokingham Councils and The Bulmershe School.

However, this friendly ethos has not prevented the club from being very successful. It is the only club in the county running five adult teams, and the youth section is the biggest and most successful in the area.

The senior club puts out five sides most Saturdays and membership is rising, with over 120 senior playing members. A great testament to the club in the light of decreasing rugby numbers across the country. The popularity of the club can be put down partly to the recent success of the first and second teams. The firsts, after a number of successful seasons, are now playing in the newly formed National 3 South West (Level 5) and the seconds have been promoted to Division 2 of the Canterbury Shield (Level 6). At the other end of the senior club is a strong Vets team who keep up the tradition of enjoyable social rugby based on a good game on the pitch and a good drink in the bar afterwards.

In addition to the senior section, the club has vibrant Mini and Junior Sections with approximately 400 boys and girls playing on Sundays. The club fields sides at every age group from Under 6 to Under 19s. These young players are seen as the future of the club, proved by the fact that today over half of the senior first team came through the Junior section.

As weill as sponsorship, Siamang is pleased to offer fellow Redingensians supporters an initial 1 hour consultation free of charge.  Call us mentioning our advertisement to arrange an appointment.
