The Clayton RFC participates in the Carolinas Geographic Rugby Union. Our Men’s 1st XV currently plays in Division 3 and our Old Boys team plays social matches and tournaments throughout the year. We are also working on the return of our 2nd XV that plays social matches as numbers allow.
We also field a Men’s 7s side that goes to 3-4 tournaments each summer. During the summer we also host weekly open touch rugby sessions on Saturday mornings.
Our Women’s side is newly developed and we’re still working on building numbers.
We practice every Tuesday and Thursday night from 6:30-8:00pm at our home facility, the Johnston County Rugby Park.

Clayton, NC 27527
