About us
LQRFC was formed in 1980 based at Les Quennevais in the parish of St Brelade. The club has enjoyed considerable success since its inception, including winning league titles, the Sugden cup, and the President's cup. In 2003 LQRFC won the Hampshire bowl. The only other Channel Islands team to have won this trophy is Guernsey RFC. The club is still based in the west of the island, although players come from all over Jersey and from all backgrounds.
Sponsored by Lydian International, Jersey's only international mineral exploration company, the club now plays under the name LQ Lydian Lions, aiming to regain former glories in Jersey and beyond.
In the 2011/12 season, and for the second year in a row, LQ Lydian Lions finished 2nd in the Verraslaw JRA League, a 6 team competition with 4 sides from Jersey and 2 in Guernsey played on a home and away basis. At the end of the season the top 4 league sides play-off for the Sugden Cup, in 2012 LQRFC narrowly lost the Final to Jersey II 40-34. LQRFC also reached the semi final of the President's Cup which is a separate knock out cup competition. 2011 saw LQRFC again competing in Hampshire, deafeating New Milton in the Quarter Final of the Hampshire Plate only to lose out in the Semi Final to eventual winners Millbrook, while in 2012 LQRFC lost in the 2nd round, again to eventual winners Jersey United Banks.
Home games are played at Les Quennevais Playing Fields and training takes place throughout the playing season every Wednesday 6.30pm at Jersey Rugby Club with pre season starting in August.
