A big shout out to two former Hammers youngsters, Ollie Stirling and Buster Wilkins, who are both making their mark at senior level.
Ollie starts this afternoon for Rams, while Buster is named in the starting XV for London Welsh.
Both Ollie and Buster came through the Hammers junior ranks, and it’s great to see former players continuing to progress and represent themselves — and their old club — at senior level.
Good luck lads. Go strong!

We’re proud to be supporting Mind, the mental health charity, and were delighted that could join us at our Junior End of Season Awards Day which took place on Sunday 29th March at Hurlingham Park.
Mind was there to share information about the vital work they do supporting people with mental health challenges and promoting positive wellbeing in our communities. Rugby is about much more than what happens on the pitch — it’s about teamwork, friendship and looking out for one another, and we’re pleased to support a charity that reflects those values.
We were also honoured that Club President Jason Leonard presented prizes and certificates to celebrate the fantastic effort our junior players have put in throughout the season.
Awards Day recognises the hard work, commitment and spirit shown by all of our young players — and is an opportunity to support an organisation doing such important work.

A massive Hammers shout-out to Ollie Stirling, who has made the move to Rams RFC and will be playing National 1 rugby next season!
Ollie came through the Hammers youth ranks, playing for the club from U6 all the way through to U18, before continuing his rugby journey through the London Irish pathway. He has now taken another big step in his career, joining Rams for the 2026/27 season.
It’s fantastic to see a player who spent so many of his formative rugby years at Hammers going on to play at this level.
Congratulations Ollie – everyone at Hammers wishes you all the very best for the season ahead!
Choosing a rugby club is about far more than sport!

Many Club members will know Emilie Saunders, who has spent the past three seasons volunteering her Sunday mornings to help run our Youth Café. This October half-term, Emilie took on a new challenge as she travelled to Uganda on a school expedition to support community projects and work alongside local charities.
The trip gave Emilie the opportunity to experience life in rural Ugandan communities and contribute to a range of initiatives, including educational activities, facilities support and charity-led development projects. Her time there offered valuable insight into the work being done on the ground and the positive impact international volunteers can help deliver.
Ahead of the trip, Emilie committed to raising £300 to support the organisations she would be working with. Thanks to the generosity of our Club community—and with help from several members along the way—Emilie didn’t just meet her target; she raised more than £1,400.
This remarkable total will directly support the charities involved in the programme, helping fund essential resources and ongoing community work.
The Club is extremely proud of Emilie’s dedication, her willingness to give back, and her continued contribution both at home and abroad. A huge thank you goes to everyone who donated and helped make her efforts such a success.
The Club’s recent Charity Quiz Night proved a huge success, raising £860 in support of the Hammersmith & Fulham branch of Mind, the mental health charity that provides vital support to individuals and families across the local area.
The cheque was presented to Nicholas Smith, Head of Marketing & Communications for Hammersmith, Fulham, Ealing & Hounslow Mind, by club social secretary and organiser of the evening Elena Dijkhuis.
Also attending the presentation were Terry Alleyne (Chair), Chris Cuthbertson (Secretary), Laurel Dunne (Women’s Chair), and Andy Whiteman (Safeguarding Officer), representing the club’s continued commitment to supporting good causes within the community.
Elena said:
“We were delighted to see such a great turnout for the Quiz Night, and even more pleased to raise funds for such an important charity. Mind does fantastic work supporting mental health in our borough, and we’re proud to be able to contribute.”
