The composition of the clubs in Regional 1 South Central, the fifth tier of national rugby, has been announced for the 2024/25 season bringing a great deal of excitement to Horsham's players and supporters.

There will be plenty of local interest with a Sussex derby against Brighton.

Horsham faced many of these sides last season including world famous London Welsh, a side renowned for fielding many British and Irish Lions in the 1960s and 1970s before they struggled with the advent of professional rugby.
