The Cardinals

Esher Cardinals play in the competitive Zoo League 1. The priority of this team is to help develop players for regular 1^st team rugby, and keep 1^st squad players match ready.

In the tough 4th tier environment of national rugby, it is imperative to have a large first team squad, and the Cardinals team is an extension of the 1^st team, with a blend of 1^st team squad members pushing for regular starts in National 2 South, along with young developing players. The Cardinals train as one team with the first team on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
