1s pitch will remain out of action in 2019-20 season.

Following LCRFC attracting a Rugby Football Foundation Groundmatch Grant, the club have, in conjunction with the Wimbledon & Putney Common Conservators, instructed a firm to begin the remedial drainage work on the 1s pitch, the work slated to begin in August. This will mean that, as planned, the 1s pitch will remain out of action for season 2019-20, with a return to the surface scheduled for the 2020-21 season. The 2nd pitch out the front of the clubhouse will be the main pitch, with the back up pitch remaining the one up by the A3 where the RP 7s Finals are held. This latter arrangement ensured that not a single match was lost or moved due to the weather in 2018-19. Hopefully, the work will prevent scenes like the one in the photo from re-occurring ever again!
