Warlingham 18 - PJFRFC 20
 The new 2010 year saw the mighty PJF playing the posponed league game against Warlingham on Saturday 2nd January. Everyone from both clubs had been looking forward to this local game and what a game it proved to be.
The Warlingham team ran onto the pitch obvious favourites with the home advantage and positioned five places higher in the league table. However both these advantages did not deliver the result expected by the Warlingham supporters. The grit, determination, skill and passion shown by the PJF team delivered the win, out scoring the home side with the full scope of both converted tries and penalties. Congratulations to all the players on the day for a well deserved win. For the full match report visit the News page on the website.

Club Ethos

Our objective at Purley John Fisher RFC is to build a successful, vibrant and diversified club that our members, players and sponsors will enjoy being a part of.
To achieve this we need to promote rugby across all ages, from youth players to veteran players, covering both mens and ladies rugby, and embrace the true practise of community rugby by inviting all potential young players from the local area and schools to play a rugby at our club.
The club is actively managing a programme of involvement in the local schools and colleges in an attempt to promote the game of rugby in all age groups from 5 to 18 year olds, with a target of starting Mini, Junior and Academy rugby at the club
We also believe that we should embrace other outdoor sports played in the local area, and are seeking to build partnerships with ladies and junior teams that need a permanent home ground, which we as Purley John Fisher can offer.
You will have the satisfaction in the knowledge that your efforts as an active member, and your generous donation as a sponsor, will help us to achieve our goals, as well as being part of a local vibrant club that considers the future of grass roots community rugby.
