London Scottish has a very long tradition of offering rugby at all levels and is very proud of the senior teams that play outside of the semi-professional arena. In our first season (2018/19) we fielded two London Scottish Lions teams, the First XV who began in Herts Middlesex League 2, and the Second XV who went into Middlesex Merit Table Division 2.
After a highly successful maiden season, which saw the First XV win their league with an unbeaten record (bonus-point victories in every game), and the Second XV finishing runners-up to London New Zealand in MMT2 – going on to win the playoff game against Old Streetonians. To finish a great inaugural season, the Lions also won the Middlesex Shield and in April combined forces with the London Scottish professional team to win the Melrose 7s in Scotland.
In the 2023/24 season, the Lions are in London & SE Division, Counties 1 Herts-Middlesex League. They are also competing in the Papa Johns Community Cup, a national RFU competition being run at the end of the league season.
Whether you are an ex-international, an aspiring young player or someone who likes to don the boots once a month, we have the right set-up for you to enjoy your rugby. And no – you do not need to be Scottish!
Training takes place on a Wednesday evening from 8:00pm to 9:30pm at the Kings House School Sportsground, Riverside Drive, Chiswick, London, W4 2SH. What 3 Words = amuse.truck.coins
