An early claim to fame came in September 1980 when the boys were invited to take part in a curtain raiser at Craven Cottage when Fulham RLFC took on Wigan in their first ever fixture.

Graham Belbin, long serving coach at Elmbridge was involved in that first curtain raiser game for Ambleside.

So by 1986, the club had changed its name again to Surrey Heath and were playing in the Southern Amateur Rugby League.

They remained in the London League until the final winter season of 1999/2000 but had their results expunged from the table for calling off too many games.

In that very same season Kingston Warriors legendary wing/full back Damian Lawton scored 17 tries in 15 games which still stands as a record today.

Brother of Sir Bev Risman, whom was also influential with Rugby League in London in the 1980s/90's, establishing many foundations for the sport.

Matt Walker also played at London Skolars, before moving to the Elmbridge region and going into coaching at the club.

Elmbridge welcome contact from players and volunteers alike interested to get involved in Rugby League at one of the oldest Community Clubs in London.
