Old Elthamians Rugby Football Club is an English rugby union club based in Chislehurst in SE London. Due to financial difficulties they withdrew from National League One, the third tier of English club rugby, in August, 2021.[1]
Upon returning to league rugby the club were placed in Counties 3 Kent.[2] The club left the Eltham College Meadows Ground and returned home to Chislehurst ahead of the 2022-23 season having been removed from College Meadows by the Headmaster Guy Sanderson of the school due to the debt owed to Eltham College by Kobus Paulsen the main benefactor of Old Elthamians who died suddenly in 2019.[3]
