We are thrilled to invite you to a Festival of Rugby as we celebrate a landmark moment in QEGS history—150 years since our first-ever rugby match, played against Leeds St. John’s in November 1874.

This special event will bring together alumni, current students, and friends of the school to honour the rich legacy of rugby at QEGS. The highlight of the afternoon will be a thrilling rugby tournament, where Old Savilians will take to the pitch once more, reigniting old rivalries and proving whether they’ve still got what it takes!

But it’s not just about the rugby—there will be family-friendly activities for all ages, including kids’ games and a crossbar challenge. So bring your friends, family, and plenty of energy for an unforgettable afternoon of sport and community spirit.

Whether you’re an Old Savilian, a current player, or simply someone who has enjoyed the excitement of rugby at QEGS, we’d love for you to be part of this historic celebration.

Save the date and join us for a day to remember!
