As part of this week's Touraid event, the club is hosting a group of Romanian boys on tour. Altogether 120 children from Cambodia, Kenya, India, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Romania, Rwanda, Swaziland (photo below), South Africa and Zambia, most of whom have never left their villages before, arrived in London this week to begin a trip of a life time. Scottish is hosting training on Wednesday 26th and after matches at Esher on Thursday they return to the club for finals on Saturday before the Cinderford game.
Academy Director Rowly Williams said: "The club is delighted to be associated with the Touraid charity and this U14 project in particular by acting as a host club for Ariesul Spartans and finals day host for the tournament. Touraid is an outstanding concept bringing young people in from all over the world, using rugby as the medium to give them an opportunity they will remember for the rest of their lives"

London Scottish 0 London Irish 56 Celtic Challenge 17th August 2007 Such was the score line, not that conceding eight tries mattered. The objective was to give Terry O’Connor’s new look squad some game time against opposition who would pose all sorts of questions. And so it came to pass: against an Irish squad lacking their World Cup picks and their Middlesex Sevens Squad, but including most of the remaining professionals and academy squad players, the home players responded with strong evidence that teamwork, organisation and commitment will be up to the challenge of National Three South in the coming season. Moreover, while not scoring themselves, they will be satisfied that they controlled the ball for long spells, did in any case make several line breaks, and defended well enough to staunch the gentle flow of tries against with more than 20 minutes to go. Whether O’Connor went away with many clues to unlock the undoubted selection conundrum he faces, is another matter,..
He
may well have a feel for what comprises his
strongest XV, but the Scots in the 1,200-plus
crowd won’t be any the wiser, as the squad took
the field in their smart new Rugbytech shirts
which had somehow arrived without numbers! As
Irish were wearing their training shirts, also
unnumbered, onl Still, it was a good exercise from a training point of view; and from the social standpoint, a big crowd, good food and the sort of camaraderie you’d expect from a load of Celts on an evening out, made the Celtic Challenge a terrific curtain raiser for the season. All that was missing was a decent pint afterwards… somehow the landlord’s cellar system failed, depriving the crowd of anything on draught except – mysteriously, but our reputation as good hosts - for the black stuff which is as mother’s milk to our visitors! A crowd of 1200 plus was entertained before and after the game - the Celtic Duo (right) provided music for those who attended the dinner (photo Marcus Dodridge) |

SCOTLAND A and
FRANK HADDEN VISIT LONDON SCOTTISH on THURSDAY
24th MAY Next Season's fixtures The new fixture list is out and can be seen in full here. Scottish open their campaign in National 3 South with a home match against Luton, who won Midland 1 last season - the equivalent achievement of Scottish winning London 1. However the first big draw will be the next weekend when Scottish travel to Rosslyn Park, whom we first played - and beat - in 1888, or possibly earlier...! Other highlights for your diaries will be the return match at home to Park on December 22 - which will almost make up for not playing a Christmas game against Richmond - and the fixtures with Ealing on 10 November (a) and the return on 8 March when the club will also be televising the Calcutta Cup from Murrayfield. Another day to set aside is 27 October. The week after the World Cup Final, Scottish travel all the way to Penzance to play Mounts Bay, winners of South West 1 last season, and we suspect a long weekend with optional golf might be on the agenda for the travelling supporters! There is also a new points system to get used to: 4 for a win, 2 for a draw, and bonus points for either scoring four tries or losing by fewer than 7 points. The number of permitted substitutes is increased from three to four.
P Official start is June 18 but fitness coach Dean Sutton is giving players a training plan for the intervening weeks. As we embark on National League rugby once again we are looking for players in a handful of key positions. So if you want to trial for the club please click here to email the coaching team
