Matches across all age groups from U9s to Over 35s!

Brixton Bulls played matches across almost all age groups this weekend in a great couple of days for rugby league in London.

The U9s and U11s both travelled to Brentwood to play in a mini festival. The U9s played against Brentwood Eels and Eastern Rhinos, while the U11s played against Eastern Rhinos and Elmbridge Eagles. This was a great experience for all, with many players playing in their first ever rugby league matches.

The U13s and U14s hosted Elmbridge Eagles at Streathan & Croydon. The U13s kicked off proceedings with a friendly match, with an opportunity to give the whole of the U13s squad a full match, and were also joined by a few new U12s who put in a great effort in their first every rugby league matches.

The U14s then played a full-blooded London Junior League matches against one of their biggest rivals. The Bulls shot into a 12-0 lead, but a series of handling errors gave the Eagles the initiative, and they lead 24-18 at the break. In a tough second half, the Bulls fought back well, and came close to tying the game with the last play of the game, but the Eagles held on for a 34-28 win.

The Brixton Bulls Men's team then played London Skolars "A"s in the London Premier Division. It was a similarly thrilling game, but this time the Bulls were able to come out on top, winning 32-28.

Finally, the Bulls Masters team travels to St Albans today to take on the Centurions. This will be a great opportunity for the Over 35s to roll back the years in a great game for older players, which involves a mixture of touch and contact, depending on each player's age and fitness.
