CLub History

Where it all began

In the beginning, there were a group of bored nineteen and twenty-somethings (and some others…) that got together with the idea of revving up their world of sociable sport.

En route to finding a suitable direction, this rag-tag assortment of Zimbo’s, Kiwis, Saffas and Aussies hooked up with a couple of token English to see what kind of hell they could raise.

We then picked a game (netball – no one really remembers why?), we found a pub and we found a tournament. Conveniently located at the same pub – The Walkabout, Shepherds Bush and away we went!

Ten weeks later, a lot of beer and more by luck than judgement, we were crowned champions of the Walkabout Autumn mixed netball league 2001! And if the kudos wasn’t enough, we won a massive bar tab and a lot of nasty hangovers. The celebrations continued for many nights (though the bar tab didn’t get past the first hour), before the group was scattered around the globe in pursuit of fame, fortune and a cure for those damn itchy feet.

Hot Custard was born!

Well, that was that for a while, happy times had become happy memories, before the remaining few decided that the daily grind was too much to bear without some more fun to be had. Several beers later, we decided to do it all again – only bigger and better and (maybe) with a hint of organisation… and Hot Custard Sports was born!

Many people have wondered just what the name is all about – including ourselves – and many fantastic stories abound. What we do remember is that we liked custard and like so many things, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Since then, the club has adopted touch rugby as our main flavour of choice and we’ve gone from strength to strength. Over the years we’ve had plenty of great characters join the club, each honored with a player number to cement their spot in Hot Custard history.
