Hampshire U18 Leagues Complete for 25/26 Season
Hampshire U18 Leagues 25/26 – Season Complete
The Hampshire U18 leagues for the 25/26 season are now complete, marking the end of the first year under the new competition structure.
This format brought together 24 clubs from across the county, with the aim of creating balanced leagues, meaningful competition, and regular rugby for all sides. Across the divisions, that has delivered. Matches remained competitive throughout, with league positions and outcomes still in play right up to the final round.
There has been clear progression across squads, strong commitment from players and management teams, and a consistent effort from clubs to get fixtures played despite the usual challenges around availability and bad weather.
