London Irish Rugby Trials for 2021/22 Squad

On Tuesday 25th May, we held the latest round of trials for our London Irish Rugby Academy. Over 35 boys, including trialists from other schools, attended the session at the prestigious Hazelwood Training Ground in Surrey, the home of London Irish. The effort from all boys was outstanding and some of the skill level on show was exceptional. The four professional London Irish coaches who led the sessions were impressed with the core skills and gamesmanship on show which is a credit to Saint Cecilia's School.

Those selected will receive:

• Training from London Irish Rugby coaches three times a week: full training on Monday, match or Hazelwood on a Wednesday and strength and conditioning on Friday

• Full training and matchday kit including tracksuit to wear to school

• Opportunities to attend London Irish home matches

• Strength and conditioning programmes and nutritional support

• The opportunity to meet London Irish first team players

• Discounted gym membership at a local facility

The squad for 2021/22 will be selected in the coming weeks and will be announced at the Sixth Form Freshers Fortnight in June. Selection and trials for our 2022/23 squad will take place in October 2021 , full details will be posted on our London Irish Academy pages.
