Youth Rugby
At Wirral, youth rugby is the lifeblood
of the Club. With over 300 players and
over 50 coaches in the M&J section, youth
rugby is thriving at Wirral. This not
only makes a significant contribution to
the Club’s finances but it also acts as an
academy for players to come up through
the age groups and eventually participate
in one of the Club’s four Senior rugby
teams.
What is inspirational for the M&J section
is that the 1st XV squad is predominantly
made up of players that have come
up through the age groups of the M&J
section at Wirral providing inspiration for
coaches and aspiration for players.

To maximise our commercial potential,
Wirral members from both sections of
the club have attended several RFU RWC
workshops, providing information and
ideas on how to ‘Get Behind England’and use our club as a local community
hub for the World Cup. We intend to
spread the word as much as possible that
our club is the place for members and the
local community to watch England and
other teams compete in the World Cup.
Having recently created an alliance with
a local Australian Rules Football team,
we will be holding an Australia themed
day and also wish to host a Festival of
Rugby event, combined with visiting local
schools to promote the World Cup; our
Minis and Juniors Section are planning to
hold a RWC school based fun day, inviting
school children and their families to the
club and following the success of last
year’s beer festival, the event organisers
are planning another festival on a match/
World Cup day, to entice more members
and the public to get down to our club
and watch the game.
