Worth Old Boys
RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB
Worth Old Boys RFC have enjoyed a hugely successful season to become
Champions of Surrey 3, and have earned our return to Surrey 2 for the fourth
time in our 25th season in the Surrey Leagues. The Club is on a high, with a
100% win record at our home ground in Whiteley Village Walton on Thames,
known affectionately as “Fortress Whiteley”, where we receive Clubhouse
hospitality from Reeds Weybridge RFC – themselves champions of Surrey 1
and worthy winners of the Junior Vase this year.
Rob Boughton is the Managing Director of Thakeham Property Group and a principal sponsor of
Worth Old Boys RFC. He is also a big fan and supporter of rugby and recently took time out of his
busy schedule to speak with Rugby Club Magazine, “I suppose it was mainly through my brother-
in-law James Henwood that I became involved with the club. James has been a real club stalwart for
over a decade and it’s great to see his team finish champions this season. Our company Thakeham
Property Developers are delighted to have sponsored the club in their Champion winning season.”
“Unfortunately, due to family and business commitments I have been unable to attend any matches
this season but I am fully aware of the club’s excellent achievements finishing top of a very competitive
league which went all the way to the final game of the season.
“Hopefully as my children Finley and Lillie get a little older I can take them along to see their Uncle
James play. As a company we are very keen on supporting grassroots sports. We are also a sponsor
over at Horsham Rugby Club and having played the sport myself, mainly as number 8, I know what
excellent values and friendships can come from being involved with local rugby. Myself and everyone
at Thakeham Property Developers would like to congratulate all at Worth Old Boys RFC on a superb
season wishing them the very best for the 2019/2020 campaign!”
