The club runs four Senior sides, a Vets, Colts and all age groups from U7 to U19.[1] The first XV currently plays in Midlands Premier, at the fifth tier of the English rugby union system following their promotion from Midlands 1 East via the play-off at the end of the 2017-18 season. HistorySyston RFC was formed in 1887 when a number of players who lived locally or who attended nearby Barrow Grammar School came together to form the Club. [2] The club had various homes over the years in Syston and their first real home was on the Fosse Way in Syston where the foundations for the current Club were firmly laid. With a permanent home at Fosse Way the Club's fortunes began to improve, and by the late 1960s the club was beginning to flourish as the local schools took to playing rugby and a steady stream of players was assured. The club regained its level 5 status in 2011 after the 1st XV gained promotion as champions from Midlands 1 East into National League 3 (Midlands). The club had not played at that level for a decade.
