Another historic day with the first ever Under 16 Grand Final taking place this weekend at Clapham Common.

The Carshalton Hawks will take on the Featherstone Wildcats at 2.15pm on Sunday 20^th July.

Both teams have recorded wins over each other during the regular season so it promises to be a cracking affair. The boys have taken to the game like ducks to water and have relished the physical contact.

Leading the way for the Wildcats will be Felipe ‘Big Unit’ Ferreira and Rajjan Sund, who have both been named in the junior Bulldogs side that will travel to Australia in August. The Wildcats have enjoyed tremendous success at senior level in recent times, so will be hoping to add even more silverware to their growing collection.

The Hawks have other ideas and will look to giant ruckman George Merrick, a member of the England Rugby schoolboys team and who also played a key role in the senior Wildcat’s win in the Brit Cup. Martyn Smith, recently signed by Harlequins Rugby League, will look to go around or through his opponents, and is fired up for a big game.

If you are not doing anything on Sunday get down to the Common for a feast of footy. There will be four matches in total, with the Wandsworth Demons hosting the North London Lions in all 3 grades. Match times are 10.45am, 12.15pm, 2.15pm and 3.45pm. A big thank you to both the Demons and the Lions for agreeing to include the grand final as an exciting part of an already big day.
