Gladiators U18s gear up for touring sides from the UK . Seniors team formedThis season , undoubtably, the big success story for our club has been the growth of our U18s squad made up of players
aged 14- 17 . Within just a few months they are established as good youth team , giving all opposition a good contest and
we have one of the highest number of active registered members in this catagory. The U18s are
also acting as a "feeder" group for our nascent seniors team, which hopes to debut playing 10s and 7s rugby mid
to end March 2011 . The club , however , needs to do more to develop the U13s, Juniors and minis sections
and we hope to start ladies rugby next season . Between April- July 2011 there will be quite a number of
youth touring sides from the Uk and a ccouple of tournaments , so its criucial Gladiators keep up thier
momentum to take on these challenges , and go on tour themselves!

Welcome to the Gladiators RFC website.
Founded in January 2009, the Gladiators was initially set up to cater for the ever growing demand for youth rugby for
boys , however eventually the club aims to cater for male and female players of all ages. Currently training
is offered to boys in the U12 (ages 9-11), U14 (ages 12-13) and U17s (ages 14-17) and seniors 18 + . The
club is independently registered with the Malta Rugby Football Union (MRFU) and the Kunsill Malti tal-iSport (KMS- Mlata Sports
Council) and as such is open to all in the age groups we currently cater for, however, it also acts as a support club
for St.Martin's College students who wish to explore playing rugby beyond what is currently offered as part of PE sessions
during regular school hours. The club is therefore participating in the Malta "Rugby Revolution" promoted
by the MRFU and offering "after school" session at times convenient for boys and parents alike. Gladiators RFC aims
to be an inclusive clubs and players enjoy difefrent codes and variations of rugby- Rugby Union 15s, 10s,7s, Rugby League
, Beach Rugby , Tag Rugby and Mini-Tag Rugby.
Why the "Gladiators" ? -
well the name was inspired by those ancient warriors, of course, who battled to the end for the entertainment of the Romans
and fought individually as well as part of a team together from all races and creeds and shapes and sizes- which
kind of sums up the spirit of rugby (there is a place for everyone) - the blockbuster film "Gladiator"
was also filmed in Malta and , perhaps the greatest inspiration of all , the Gloucester Gladiator planes, "Faith,
Hope and Charity" that were initially the only airborne defense for Malta at the outbreak of the
2nd World War . They fought bravely and prevailed against all the odds. If you look closely at our club logo a Gloucester
Gladiator is tatooed on the arm of the warrior. SPONSORED BY: Member Of:
