League history
When league rugby was created, Tabard was placed in London 2 North and in the early 1990s, Tabard won consecutive promotions, finding themselves in the newly created Courage League Division 5 in 1993-94, playing in the South division throughout its three years and were transferred to Courage League 4 South following the 1996 reorganisation, which became National League 2 South the following season. They remained in the fourth tier until relegation in 2004-05.{{cite web|title=Final League Tables 2004 – 2005|url=http://www.trelawnysarmy.org/ta/tables45.html|website=Trelawny's Army|accessdate=27 August 2016}} The club has played in the regional London divisions ever since.
