The men' senior section runs three sides at present, providing a level of rugby for every age, ability and experience. The 1st XV are captained by Jon Delicata, known as "Deli" to all, and will compete in Surrey One this year.

The first team have ambitions to gain promotion to the London leagues. Recent success has been built on a fierce defence and an open running rugby style with all XV players involved. Captain Deli is the team's No8 and is himself and old boy of Caterham school.

 

Head coach at Old Cats is Paul Loader, now in his fourth year at the club. Paul has extensive experience and has spent time helping to train one of Italy's top rugby clubs Parma, where his brother Neil is head coach. Paul is assisted in the senior men's training by Steve Wagstaff who is also a qualified referee and experienced forward player.

 

The second XV is captained by another No8 - Reece Williams. In recent years, the 2nd XV has provided a number of players to the top level of the club and have been highly successful in the merit leagues in recent years - only just losing in the final last year.

 

The Ligers (3rd XV) are captained by veteran and legendary Old Cat Mike Ledwidge. Started just last season, the Ligers has welcomed a number of beginners to the game and a cracking team spirit means fun is always had come win, lose or draw.

 

Training takes place every Wednesday under floodlights at the club at 730pm.
