Matchday

Matchday

The Saints has led the way in English rugby with the quality of our match day experience, and before most home games there is plenty more rugby to be seen with our famous tournaments.

Tournaments are held for all ages, from Under-7 right up to Under-16, including the Land Rover Premiership Cup for Under-11 and Under-12. Clubs come to Franklin's Gardens from across the east of England - and beyond! - to compete on the first team's training pitches, with the winners and runners-up receiving their prizes on the main pitch at half-time.

These tournaments have another purpose - the Saints Academy coaches will be watching and the best talent from Under-13 upwards may be invited back to train with one of Saints' Elite Player Development Groups. The full details of tournament dates in the 2011/12 season are listed below. If you are interested in taking part in a matchday tournament, email the Community team by clicking here
