U13 Boys

We are delighted to announce that there will be an U13 Boys competition for the first time during the 2024-25 season.

Oxfordshire RFU runs the cup competition for the Under 13s age group. The format is determined by the number of entries and the age grade continuum regulations. In 2024-25 we will be running a waterfall tournament consisting of a group stage followed by a knock-out phase to determine the winners of the U13s Oxfordshire County Cup along with the supplementary Plate and Shield competitions.

Finals Day will be held on Sunday 23rd March 2025 at Didcot Rugby Club.

Important note:

RFU regulation 15.11.3 requires U13 matches to be brought to a halt once the difference is 30 points – “The Mercy Rule”. We have included within our regulations non mandatory adjustments that coaches can make to balance a one sided game. We would encourage these to be used to maximise enjoyment for both sets of players. If both teams are happy then the game can continue after the mercy rule in invoked but the score line is fixed.

For any further information on the competitions, please contact the ORFU Competitions Chair  or the age grade specific email for U13s.
