The club's inaugural season in the London and South East Merit League saw them finish 4th in the table. The first competitive game for the club came against Dagenham Bulldogs〔http://www.thisissussex.co.uk/Ready-battle/story-16183907-detail/story.html〕 on May 26, 2012. The club was also able to field a second team, Weald Warriors A during the season, highlighting the continued development and growth of the club since its inception. In 2013 the club aimed to field four sides: two open age sides and an Academy side (under 16s to under 18s). The first team played in the London and South East Regional League, with the A-team playing in the London and South East Merit League. The 1st XIII reached the playoffs in a what was a true breakout season for the club. First Grade player Earl Gorman was then called up to Great Britain Police for the World Cup, and Fullback Alex Crouch sealed a big move to London Skolars after just two seasons of RL experience. In April 2013 the club secured its financial future and a permanent home ground, signing an agreement with the Tunbridge Wells Borderers organisation to use St Marks Recreation ground and clubhouse facilities, as a partner club. Commercial Director Bob Phillips also secured a new major sponsor for the 1st XIII. The club has the unique distinction of hosting Royal Tunbridge Wells' first ever competitive game of Rugby League.〔http://www.thisiskent.co.uk/Tunbridge-Wells-hosts-game-rugby-league/story-16434073-detail/story.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Weald Warriors」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
