LONDON WELSH YOUTH
Welcome to London Welsh Community Rugby. We combine the proud history of the London Welsh club with a modern, inclusive approach to rugby. From U13-U18 our Youth section is where the future of London Welsh takes shape. We’ve invested heavily to keep our players engaged and on the pitch, building a clear pathway from Youth to Senior rugby so all players can continue to play after Youth rugby.
