MEN's There is a very successful first team (having gained 5 promotions in 8 seasons) and a second team (known as the Llamas) and a 3rd XV, all of whom meet regularly during the season with games most weeks. The first team enjoys a good status in Division 1 of the Essex league, having won promotion recently. The Llamas (don't ask!) play in the Essex Merit Table, were promoted at the end of 2006/2007 and the Third team became a regular feature since January 2004. They are also part of the Merit Table and won their division in 2004/5. We have hopes to form a regular 4th XV during the current season - we have already had a few 4th team games. We also have a first "Vets" [over 35's] game planned for 2008. WOMEN's During the 2004/5 season the "Venus XV" ladies rugby team formally joined with Millwall, to become the Millwall Venus team. They entered the league structure for the first time in season 2005/6 and are in the RFUW's South East (North) division. The Venus team has its own part of the club website - click here to visit www.venusrugby.com YOUTH SECTION During 2003/4 the club launched its Youth Section, the "Millwall Lions" for children between the ages of 8 and 18. The section is run by qualified coaches and holds training sessions on Thursday evenings (boys only, 14 yrs +) and Sunday mornings (boys & girls, all ages), with occasional matches throughout the season. The kids also have their own part of the club website - click here to visit www.millwalllions.com
And now....
During its short life, Millwall
has fielded players from over 25 countries across the world. Wherever
you're from, you're sure of a warm welcome.

Where to find us ...
Training.
Youth section training on Sunday mornings takes place on Millwall Park (beside Island Gardens DLR station) from 10.30am to midday. An additional session for older boys (14+) takes place on the Lower Paddock at Mudchute Farm on Thursdays (6.30pm - 8pm). We occasionally use indoor and astro-turf facilities at the nearby George Green school to preserve the grass on the Lower Paddock. George Green school is on Manchester Road, a minutes walk from Island Gardens station. DURING THE SUMMER, WE HAVE "TOUCH RUGBY" SESSIONS EACH MONDAY EVENING FROM 7.30pm. These are light-hearted games and everyone is welcome to join in...so feel free to come along.
Matches. Home games for the adults are currently played at Victoria Park, Bow,
(known as Fortress Vicky). Youth matches are played at our pitch on Millwall Park (beside Island
Gardens DLR station) using the changing rooms in Stebondale Street. So What's Next...?
We have a clubhouse on the edge of Millwall Park, right next to Island Gardens DLR station, which is being developed at present for the whole club and the wider community. It is already in use for some activities and will be formally opened sometime in 2008. And if you're not around during the week and just fancy a game on a weekend, that's fine too. Nobody stays a stranger very long at Millwall Rugby Club. If you want to play, just send an email to selection@millwallrugby.com before Wednesday evening saying who you are, what position you play etc. and providing some contact details. We'll get back to you with the details. Training sessions are free and we operate a "first match free" policy to encourage new people to try us out. There are no fees at all for youth players! Everything else can be explained when we meet you. We have people from all over the world and - whether
you are a novice or a rugby legend - you'll be sure of a friendly welcome
at Millwall Rugby Club.
