Think international games are just for the Pro’s? Think again.

Glasgow, Sunday 19th October. 

The spirit of international rugby was alive and thriving at GHA Rugby Club as the GHA Minis (P6s & P7s) warmly hosted a tournament of mini rugby featuring boys and girls from Haagsche RFC, the largest rugby club in the Netherlands.

The visiting Dutch players joined teams from Biggar, Bishopton, Dunbar, Haddington, and Musselburgh for a day of exciting matches, teamwork, and new friendships — proving that international competition isn’t just reserved for the professional game.

The event celebrated the values of rugby — respect, teamwork, and friendship — whilst offering these young players a unique opportunity to experience the international rugby community firsthand.

The P7 squad are also due to travel to Valencia in April to take part in Torneo Escuelas Civdad Rugby, proudly representing the club and extending GHA’s hand of friendship.

Club President Gordon Adams said:

“It was fantastic for GHA to welcome Haagsche Rugby Club to Braidholm to participate in a youth tournament with Biggar, Bishopton, Dunbar, Haddington and Musselburgh.

We are committed for our 440 youth players to get as many development opportunities as possible and playing international teams facilitates that development. The weekend allowed players and coaches to make friendships through rugby and for GHA to develop strong international relationships, and all had a wonderful weekend.

GHA looks forward to growing the game home and abroad via these friendships”
