The Romans club was founded in 2015 by a small team of committed individuals who managed to secure the services of Tom Howley (British Army & Armed Forces Rugby League International) as player/coach for the first campaign.
In this first season, Romans won the West of England League championship along with the West of England Challenge Cup and were finalists in the West of England Rugby League 9s. The club also won through to the semi-final of the national Harry Jepson Trophy competition going down to a very strong South West London Chargers side who now play in the Conference League South.
Having been hosted in the first season by the Leafy Lane Playing Fields organisation, Romans moved on to the Corsham RU Club for the 2016 season when the major success was in completing all the fixtures with results not going too well. However, there were some spirited performances, for example going down by just four points against the eventual champions Portsmouth Navy Seahawks, but just one success, against Gloucestershire Warriors.
