Abu Dhabi Harlequins

As our previous CC steps into fatherhood we are pleased to welcome Chris McKee as our new Club Captain for the new season ahead. We already know he will be great!!

Chris McKee is a current player, previous 1st team captain and has represented UAE a number of times. Please welcome him on board when you see him.

For the first time, 5 of our women’s squad have been selected to play for the UAE in the upcoming Asia Series. A great testament to our women’s rugby programme.

Congratulations to MP Maddison Olivia georgiabbarber_ Rafielle Barrack

Georgia was also named co captain. 🤜 Look forward to following the training and match days.

July welcomes the start to the build up to the forthcoming season and we are delighted to welcome AKUMA SPORTS as our new kit supplier and partner.

Our target again is to be best dressed on the field and we are really pushing the envelope this year. Whilst still respecting our traditional colours and quarters design we also want to be progressive. We know our Quins family are going to love these!!

Look out for sponsor announcements next week!!

Wherever you are tonight Quins please raise a glass to Angus. We lost Angus two years ago today and we all miss him greatly. He made our club bigger and better and we have not looked back since. An awesome friend, father, husband and chairman who will never be forgotten. Xx

Welcome Millie Shelford Lynch to the Quins family!

Our outgoing Club Captain Joe Lynch and wife Amy Shazza now have a different training regime to deal with. They’ll soon realize rugby is easier!! Many congratulations to them both and look forward to seeing the little one pitch side. ❤️

Congratulations to our very own Lily for being invited and taking part in the largest rugby tournament in Texas last week. Bloodfest is a two day tournament featuring quality sides and the Tucson Thunderbirds were undefeated. Lily was also able to catch up (and swap jersey’s) with Zach, President of the Dallas Harlequins who we have communicated with before as fellow Quins!!

Our ladies have a fabulous opportunity this weekend as they take on the Egyptian National Rugby team in Cairo. Club v Country is always an interesting match up and will be a real test for our squad. The weekend involves training together too and building rugby and personal relationships. Photos soon.

Great night at our annual Tag Tournament on Wednesday. 8 teams and over 80 players contributed to an enjoyable two hours of rugby. We had teams consisting of some U14’s, a full U16’s (who made it to the final), U18’s, a senior players team, The Club team turned up and we had a team from Dubai amongst others. We won’t mention who won the final 4-2 🙏🏼 Thank you all who contributed.

Our end of season Gala Ball. It’s our opportunity to thank everyone who contributes to this Club and award those players and coaches who have been chosen for exceptional efforts. Congratulations to everyone.

Wishing our Quins family and friends wherever you are a joyous Eid filled with peace, prosperity and countless blessings. Eid Mubarak.
