A man in his 30s has been found dead at a rugby club.

The sad discovery was made at Ashford Rugby Club in Kennington in the early hours of Saturday.

Police were called to Kinney's Lane at about 4.20am and say the man was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Officers taped off a footpath that runs next to the club for a number of hours.

A spokesman said the death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will be prepared for the coroner.

In a statement, John Norman, chairman of Ashford Rugby Club, said: "We were very sad to hear from the police about what happened and would like to send our sincere condolences to all family and friends of the deceased."
