London Welsh RFC

The club was formed in 1885 to cater to ex-pat Welsh rugby players living in London. Following a successful period they turned professional in 2009 and moved to Oxford in 2012. However this was financially unsustainable and the club returned to Richmond in 2015 and went into liquidation in 2016.  An amateur club emerged from the ashes.
