I’d love to get involved in setting a club up here in Norfolk but there isn’t any interest at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SVH 9 Report post Posted Friday at 00:14 The U16s will be playing in the London Junior League next year but we arranged plenty of friendlies for the Juniors over the Summer. The Open Age team will be playing in the West of England League in the upcoming season. With regard numbers it starts slow but does build to you have good numbers. We are in a very strong Union city & region & everybody told us there would be no interest but there is. Our Juniors even trained throughout the Summer in Sixways Stadium the home of Rugby Union in Worcester. To help Rugby League grow in our region we are about to launch our Satellite Club Program (SCP) which will help set up & found new Clubs.

What is local, is very ‘festival-esque’ By that I mean 3-4 teams meet with mixed-ages and about 5-12 players each so end up mixing and matching. The London league is much more structured and competitive than what has been experienced before. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
