Club history
editFormed as Shirley Wanderers RFC in 1956, by a mixture of experienced players and those who were new to the game. After 7 years as a wandering size the club opened a clubhouse on the present site and leased 3 pitches, of which 2 remain. In 2003, Shirley Wanderers welcomed the players of Old Croydonian RFC after the club lost its supply on youth players, and then had to rely on players relocating to the area for employment and from non-playing rugby schools, and therefore started having troubles fielding a side, leading to the renaming of the club as Croydon RFC.
