IRFC Colts are a combination of players from both U17s & U18s age groups.
The Colts Squad is a very important part of the senior playing structure as it provides both higher level and more social level rugby for lads of U17 and U18 age grades as well as U20 and U21 rugby for lads that have moved on from Colts but are still keen to play with friends and enjoy their club rugby on a more adhoc basis because of commitments such as Uni, College and Apprenticeships. There is also the important transition into Senior rugby and the delivery of players to those mens teams when the time is right for those lads to move up.
Our Colts train at Humber Doucy Lane under lights 7:00 to 8:45pm (please see timings below). We play our games on a Sunday lunchtime in the Colts Merit League which draws from 24 teams across the Eastern Region, the EC Cup and the National Cup. We aim to be competitive in all the games we play and in the competitions we enter, offering a fun and friendly environment that sees our lads learn and enjoy both their friendships and this great game. We are very inclusive and keen that lads get to develop their skills and as a result, move their expectations and self belief in the right direction.
Headed up by Matthew North we draw on coaching talent from both across the club and beyond. We have a strong skillset, mindset, body set approach and as such have a solid coaching team, a solid S&C commitment and work with a sports psychologist to help the lads with the mental side of what can be both a a very demanding game, physically and mentally.
All abilities are welcome at our sessions. You are more than welcome to turn up and see what we are all about.
