Players Clothing

All players clothing and protective kit must conform to current IRB (International Rugby Board) standards. If in any doubt, please talk to your age group coach or see the chairman.

The club will provide the players shirts for games, these shirts remain the property of the club.

Other St Mary's kit such as shorts and socks can be purchased from the club shop. See the club merchandise page.

Most football type boots with IRB approved aluminium studs are adequate for rugby, as are most moulded rubber sole type boots. Many blade type boots are banned, please check before buying such boots as regulations are always changing. Mistakes can be very costly. Studs are available from the club shop.

Player Safety

We take great care to ensure that all of our players are equipped to handle the requirements of the game.

We insist all players, whilst traing and taking part in games, MUST wear a Gum Shield. Gum Shields are available in the club shop.

No Gum Shield = No Game/Training

Most Sundays we have a match or training. As long as the coach thinks a child can play safely, he or she will be invited to take part. Some Sunday's we have tournaments, on these dates we are restricted to the number of children that can participate. on these occasions, the coaching staff will select players based on their ability and performance during the season.
