The Trinity Club - Rugby
After 561 days without any competitive rugby due to the Covid enforced break, it was great to be back for the 2021/22 rugby season and what a season it was!
We already knew we had a good squad and had high ambitions for the season even before we had resumed training. With the added boost of several new players including recent Trinity School leavers Krishna Lall, Archie McMillan, James Hammond, Conor McGrath and Stefan Leadbeater our aim from the outset was to achieve promotion. We started the season in great form and blew several teams away with our fast-flowing expansive rugby, and fully deserved our place at the top of the league as we reached the mid-point of the season for the festive break.
A couple of key injuries in the second half of the season resulted in a few narrow defeats that unfortunately allowed Kingston to gain ground on us and pip us at the post for first place however, our second-place finish ensured we were promoted not just one but two levels for the following season!!!
The momentum will continue when the new season starts on Saturday 3rd September, when we will be playing in Level 7 of the rugby pyramid. Pre-season training starts at Lime Meadow Avenue on Monday 4th July at 19:15 and will run every Monday and Wednesday through to the start of the season, please feel free to come and join us.
Our junior section, Trinity Titans, has also continue to expand with Sunday mornings at Lime Meadow Avenue being taken over by
boys and girls from under 5 to under 13-yearolds. The highlight of last season being the tour to Gloucester where the players provided the guard of honour before Gloucester took on Wasps.
For those past the age of playing please keep your eyes peeled for one of our former players and supporters’ events.
