Official Canterbury Crowborough RFC long sleeve home rugby shirt from the 2002/03 season.

The condition of this original jersey is 9/10 - Superb (see photos).

A major milestone in the development of the game took place in 1987 with the establishment of League Rugby. CRFC found themselves in Sussex 1 and, apart from one season when they were relegated, there they stayed until 2006 when, on winning the league, promotion to London 4 was achieved. Since then the club has gained two further promotions and now plays in London South East 2, finishing 3rd last season.

The concept of a rugby club in Crowborough began with a letter appearing in the Kent & Sussex Courier early in 1936. Written by Geoffrey Cornford and Roland Hill it informed readers of a proposal to establish a club in the district. The response must have been encouraging as CRFC was formed and the first game, played in March 1937, was against Cranbrook RFC. Unfortunately CRFC lost.
