Rugby is an essential part of the life and ethos of St. Mary's College Junior School. The game's core values of respect, discipline, enjoyment and teamwork are at the heart of our junior school. Rugby is the main sport played during the autumn and winter seasons. Rugby teaches team work, fosters respect for oneself and one’s opponent and for having great fun with your class mates and friends.
Starting in 1st class, each class has rugby training after school on one or two days a week depending on their age group.
On a Wednesday, all boys from Form 1 - Form 6 play in a class league where teams play games in a league format with the winners being decided with semi- finals and finals in March.
On Saturday mornings, Form 2 - Form 6 boys have either training for an hour or a match/blitz against another school(s).
All Saturday morning rugby fixtures are uploaded to the school website on Wednesday afternoons.
Boys must wear rugby boots and a gumshield for all training sessions and matches.
