We're Stroud Rugby and for our u11s this is our second trip to the London Irish International Mini and Junior festival. We've also persuaded our u9s to come as well this year!

Nestled deep in the Cotswolds surrounded by great West Country teams, Stroud Rugby is at the heart of the five valleys area.

With a thriving minis and junior section, a strong Colts team and two Senior teams, the club is thriving and Sundays are always busy mornings with all the boys and girls playing or training.

Our u11s Head Coach, James Marchant, studied at St.Mary's College in Twickenham over 30 years ago, forming lifelong bonds with London Irish through university friends and teammates who went on to play for the academy, club, and then coach at Minis & Juniors.

As an ex Rosslyn Park Nomad, James also has very fond memories of playing many games at the old Sunbury ground against the very social sides that London Irish would field.

We're very excited to be back in 2024 and looking forward to playing against an star studded line up of international u9 and u11 teams! Thanks for having us back!

Come over and say hello!
