This is the first step in representative rugby for many of our players and is a great reflection of their commitment, ability and attitude.

The Alliance junior rugby section aims to develop players further to their club rugby coaching and is a fantastic opportunity to play alongside new team mates. The Alliance East junior players are selected from a pool of very strong rugby clubs including Olney, Bletchley, Milton Keynes, Old Northamptonians and Old Scouts, and being selected is a real achievement. Matches are played against other sub-county teams in the East Midlands - such as East Northants and Hunts & Peterborough.

From the Under 16s, Charlie C, Freddie O, Johnny, Reuben, Ethan and Ronnie were all selected for the Alliance East squad - and look forward to training with the team soon before the first game against Alliance West at the end of March.

Selected for the Alliance East Under 15 team are: Alfie, Chase, Harry, Archie, Cian and Ben. These players joined a training session at Olney RFC recently, along with coaches Tim Bott and Dave Emery, and will begin their age group matches at the end of March.

The Under 14 team are represented with the selection of Fred, Jody and Dylan into the Alliance squad.

Congratulations to all of our Casuals players selected for the Alliance teams - and good luck in the training and games ahead!
