Grasshoppers Rugby Football Club is community rugby club based in Osterley, Middlesex. It has a Mini, Junior and senior section, and both trains and competes with other teams. It also has a Ladies team and a Netball team. The Rugby season starts in autumn and ends in late spring. The club has played in many fixtures this season.

The Mini section recently took part in the Middlesex Under 11s and 12s Festival. The Under 11 team played in the festival, hosted at London Wasps RFC in Acton, on Sunday the 21st of March.

The team played two games in the qualifying round, competing against the home side Wasps and Finchley RFU. They played very well in these games, winning both. They score against Wasps was 21-0 and they also won 5-0 against Finchley. Their success in these games meant they went through to the next round, which was the knockout round to compete for the trophy. In this round they had to play Rosslyn Park, the top junior team in Middlesex. The team played very well, but unfortunately lost out at this point. However, they should be congratulated for making it this far in a very difficult and competitive competition.

2010 marks the 60th anniversary of the Grasshoppers RFC, so it will be a very year for the club. Look out for future victories!
