The club will be launching an open age men’s side in 2020 that builds on much junior activity over the last 2-3 seasons including the MDA academy that have played Scotland and Hull FC recently.

Eddie Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Great to hear What league will they be playing in, and (just to be nosey) how many kids / adults have you got playing? I’d love to get involved in setting a club up here in Norfolk but there isn’t any interest at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVH Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 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. Even though you are outside our region we would have no problem adding you to the SCP & help you set up a new club. Contact me if you would like to know more.

The London league is much more structured and competitive than what has been experienced before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
