Congratulations to the Richmond juniors LUCY KNOTT and MADDIE MONTEIRO on their selection for the England Cadets squad.
Coach Will Macdonald commented : “It is absolutely a credit to Maddie’s and Lucy’s work ethic.”
We wish them all the success and looking forward to seeing them playing for England soon.
With some important players missing on England duty and due to illness, Richmond had just enough to compete against Dartford but not enough to avoid the first loss of the season going down 3-0 ( 25-22, 25-22, 25-22). Read More
After their great performance last week away in Bristol and a very hard week training, Richmond NVL Div2 team played their first home match at Kingston Arena last Sunday vs Sussex Dolphins.

Richmond Docklands began the new Super League season with a disappointing 3-1 loss to Newcastle Staffs. The new league format sees the nine teams in the new Super League play each other once before Christmas. The league then splits in two for the remainder of the season.

Richmond storms to victory in their first bite of the Div 2 National league in Bristol. The team performed brilliantly and came away with a straight 3-0 win (25-15, 25-20, 26-24).
Some nervousness was evident at the beginning of the first set but after that the team implemented a well drilled game plan put in place by Head Coach Giorgio Scatigna “GSG” who said: “I am very proud of the team especially coming from 20-16 down in the third set to the well deserved victory”.
