The club believes strongly in the involvement of the community on our match days and in 2009 we aim to represent and provide the opportunity for every sector of the London Rugby League community to participate on the pitch at the Twickenham Stoop on a Harlequins RL match day.

As part of this commitment, 2009 will see the Harlequins Rugby League Reserves take to the field on several occasions prior to the Harlequins Rugby League Engage Super League fixture.

Some of the initiatives we are running in 2009 include:

British Army Community Cup

The Harlequins Rugby League schools match day competition is the British Army Community Cup which pitches schools from the Carnegie Champions Schools competitions at Year 7/8 in a 9 a-side format on the first match of the Super League Season.

Past winners are as follows:

2006: Richard Challoner School
2007: Christ's School
2008: Hollyfield School

Girls Rugby League Festival – Year 8 and 9
