About us

A new club with a winning history

London Tridents is a new initiative born from South East London Touch Club. Since 2023, South East London Touch introduced young players to touch rugby through schools and club sessions, and had huge success along the way.

In summer 2026 we set up the Tridents as a girls-only team, and it worked brilliantly on and off the pitch. In our first season we won the Junior Touch Cup South, finished runners-up in the Junior Touch Cup National, and then all Tridents players represented South East England and became National Champions! Fourteen of our players were invited to the Try Sports Centre of Excellence, and five to the England U14 Girls Training Squad.

So we're making it official. London Tridents is now a club of its own, and the first girls-only touch club in England.
