Middlesex Rugby

Middlesex Rugby is the official RFU county union (constituent body) for Middlesex. Our role is to grow and develop the sport across the county. We have 85 affiliated clubs at all levels of the game from Premiership (Wasps, Saracens, and Harlequins) to grassroots clubs across the county. Our remit is to: ● Work alongside RFU Development Officers and local and regional organisations to help promote and develop the game of rugby union within the county ● Provide the RFU with local knowledge of clubs, and act as a communication link between the clubs and the RFU. Annually monitor club accounts and promote the use of the Game Management System ● Plan, agree and implement a strategy for rugby development of all players within the Union and coordinate an annual player development programme ● Provide opportunities to play representative rugby through teams who compete in the County Championship, from which the England Counties representative team is selected, the National Under 20 Championship, and at Under 18 level and below ● Organise county leagues, manage county cup competitions and merit tables for club teams and manage leagues, merit tables or festivals for young players at Under 18 and below ● Establish coach development programmes and maintain close links with Referee Societies who train and develop referees. Work with the RFU to increase the number of volunteers with skills and commitment to administer the game at club level ● Use delegated disciplinary powers to act in relation to infringement of any law of the game by players below National League level or for any conduct prejudicial to the game or for infringement of most RFU or IRB regulations
