LONDON WELSH RFC
LONDON WELSH WOMENS
Our squad is one of the oldest women’s clubs in the existence, reaching a landmark 40th anniversary in 2026. The competitiveness continues to grow with an active squad of long-standing players who train every week with our RFU qualified coaches. Run in a welcoming and friendly environment, our squad comprises beginners, returners, students, locals and Welsh exiles. Our players range from 16 year olds to to complete beginners in their 30s and if you’ve never played rugby before, you’re in exactly the right place. Many of our team started as complete beginners.​
