Girls Rugby is still seen as a minority sport, though in the last five years it has gone from strength to strength. We now have girls playing at U18 and U15 at a number of clubs across the county.
Girls from four clubs have played for the County this season in games against Essex, Sussex and Berkshire and a number have been nominated at both age groups for Divisional trials.

County and divisional rugby
County players are nominated to trial for the RFUW Regional Programme. Talented players are identified and U15s are invited into the School of Rugby, while U18s are invited into the Talent Development Group. Successful players will have the opportunity to play London & South East divisional rugby, and progress to England Under 20s.

Middlesex clubs offering girl's rugby
Girls aged Under 12 can participate in mixed mini rugby at the majority of rugby clubs across the county who will welcome girls into the club.
At U15 and U18 players from a cluster of clubs combine to play competitive matches in the Thames Valley League under the name of Middlesex Leopards. As girls rugby gains popularity, the goal is for more and more clubs to be able to field their own teams at this age group.
The following Middlesex clubs have girl's rugby sections:
