Polhill Renews Sponsorship of Westcombe Park RFC Men’s Senior Team for New Season

Polhill is delighted to confirm that we will once again be sponsoring the Westcombe Park RFC men’s senior team for the new season in National League 2 East. As a family run business with deep roots in the local community, we are proud to keep supporting a club that means so much to so many.

Strong Roots, Strong Rugby

Westcombe Park RFC, has long been a cornerstone of rugby in Orpington and the wider Kent area. Based at Goddington Dene, the club fields teams from minis and juniors through to seniors. The men’s first XV play in National League 2 East, placing them among the most competitive clubs in the region.

Polhill has partnered with Westcombe Park RFC for several years and our support goes far beyond a handshake and a logo. We see this sponsorship as a continuation of a shared story. One about passion for sport, belief in the community and plenty of noisy Saturdays on the touchline with supporters wrapped up against the Orpington breeze.

Why We Do It: Supporting Grassroots Sport

Grassroots sport is where the magic begins. It is where youngsters first pull on a shirt that is two sizes too big, discover the thrill of scoring a try and learn how teamwork works in real life. At Polhill, we believe in backing these foundations because they nurture confidence, friendships and a love of activity that lasts for decades.

One of our own directors, Josh Novell, has a very personal connection with the club, having worn the Westcombe Park colours himself. For him, this is not just a sponsorship agreement, it is a homecoming.

Josh explains:

“I’m thrilled we can support Westcombe Park RFC again this season. It means something deeper when you’ve played for the club yourself. Grassroots rugby is the backbone of local sport. It unites families, builds character, and brings the community together. We’re proud to play a role.”

A Proud History at Westcombe Park RFC

Westcombe Park RFC was founded back in 1904 and has been a fixture of the local sporting landscape ever since. The club originally played in Catford before moving to its current home at Goddington Dene in Orpington. Over more than a century, generations of players have worn the blue and white, creating memories that stretch from muddy winter mornings to sunlit summer sevens.

The club has produced players who have gone on to higher honours, but its heart has always been with the community. Whether it is the mini rugby festival that brings hundreds of young players together every spring, or the senior squad battling in National League 2 East, Westcombe Park RFC has always stood for passion, teamwork, and a genuine love of the game.

What makes the club so special is its blend of tradition and forward thinking. The clubhouse is filled with history, from faded photographs of teams long past to trophies that mark triumphs across the decades. Yet every weekend new stories are written on the same pitches, as boys and girls discover rugby for the first time and seniors chase another victory.

For Polhill, being part of that history matters. We are not just sponsoring a team, we are helping to keep alive a tradition that has been part of Orpington for over 100 years. That is a legacy worth supporting.

Get Behind the Team

This is where you come in. We invite our customers, friends and neighbours to come along and support the team this season. Grab your scarf, bring your kids and join the crowd at Goddington Dene. Rugby is always better when the stands are full of laughter and applause.

You can see the complete list of upcoming fixtures for the men’s senior team on the official fixtures page. Plan a day out, enjoy the rugby, and be part of something special.

Looking Ahead

We see this sponsorship as a long-term commitment. For us it is about more than ticking a marketing box. It is about playing our part in keeping grassroots sport alive and well. We will keep cheering, keep sharing, and keep celebrating both wins and losses.

Polhill is proud to renew its sponsorship of Westcombe Park RFC men’s senior team. Here’s to a season of big tackles, brilliant tries and plenty of post-match pints. See you on the touchline.
