You know that the 2025/26 season is just around the corner when the fixtures are announced and the excitement for the new campaign start to grow.

The 1st XV start their Regional 2 South Central campaign with an away trip to East Hampshire where Petersfield await on September 6 before our first home game of the season sees Havant Dolphins travel to Water Lane seven days later.

We head across the New Forest for match three to play promoted Ellingham and Ringwood for the first time since 1990 on September 20 before a break week welcomes October in with away games at Old Tiffinians and Guildford separated by home games with Winchester and Chobham.

Our pre-Christmas game is a home one against Ellingham and Ringwood while the games against promotion challengers Bournemouth take place on November 29 in Dorset and the return on March 21 in Hampshire.

The 2nd XV league season in Counties 3 Hampshire doesn’t kick off until the first weekend of October and starts with two home games against Winchester III and Eastleigh II before we head across the Solent to face Ventnor.

All of the fixtures are listed below – the 3rd XV fixtures in Hampshire Premiership South will be out soon – but time to get the diary out and get ready for the new rugby season.
