About Us

The Dragons Tale started in 2000 AD…. 

‘I want to play Rugby League, Dad’

We couldn’t, there wasn’t any in Medway or Kent.  We loved it anyway, watched Warrington, Saints, Leeds, Wigan, Bradford... the big games at the Broncos and followed the game on Sky TV.

We played Union for Medway RFC.  It was (and is) great, we have a great time, fantastic people, some lifelong friendships, many great days.

2007 AD…

‘I need to know if I can do it, Dad.  Rugby League’

We could now, there is Rugby League in Kent and we played for the Ravens up the road in Dartford.  It was really great, some great people and some great times…. The London U12 play offs and five players from the Medway area made it through to the Elite Player Development Camp – Lawrence, Matt, Tom, Luke & Harry.  Two made it to Quins RL Scholarships.

We still loved it and, watched the big games at the (by now) Quins RL and followed the game on Sky TV.

‘I want to play too, Dad’

We entered a band of players from Medway RFC Under 9’s, playing as Medway Dragons into the Mighty Quins Prelim Festival.  We lost a game, won three and came second.  We won the Brixton Bulls Festival.  We Won The Mighty Quins Festival in September 2007.  Medway Dragons, Champions.

‘We want to play for the Medway Dragons, Dad’

We can do this.

Twelve men, a belief, a vision, values and loads of enthusiasm met in The Roseneath, Ardern Street, Gillingham on Fri 30 November 2007.  No alcohol, tea.  We shared the dream.

Medway Dragons was officially created in The Roseneath and the most fantastic journey has begun. 

From an idea, a young lad wanting to play The Greatest Game, has come the brightest of sporting clubs for young people in the Medway and surrounding areas.

The players are driving it forward, challenging the old established ideas and demanding (and getting) the highest standards.  It’s about performance, wellbeing and a lifestyle choice and commitment.  A band of brothers and sisters is becoming a family, common goals and embedded values are being laid down.

Every day is a learning day when we tackle a new challenge.  We aim to provide a sporting club for everyone and be a part of the whole community.

We will give young athletes a chance to go as far as they want to.

Our aim…… To enable young people to play Rugby League.

It is The Greatest Game
