Links with London Irish

During the 2006/2007 season, the junior section has enjoyed a number of activities and events with our local Guinness Premiership Club, London Irish. London Irish squad member conducted a training session for all ages at TRFC. Also the U13s were ball boys for a league match at the Madjaski Stadium and the U10s the Guard of Honour at another of the Exiles home games. Jon Barker, the Junior Section Chairman stated, “These types of activities will occur again this coming season as we get even more London Irish involvement with what we are doing at Tadley RFC with the assistance of our junior sponsor, Pump Technology.”

The London Irish mascot, Digger, has been spotted at TRFC!
