We set out to make memories for all the 46 players, 54 parents including 8 coaches associated with Caldy RFC U15. We achieved that goal and much more. The city, venues, itinerary, host clubs, standard of rugby and our SHS chaperones were exceptional throughout, going above & beyond, and we all had a fantastic weekend. A weekend that will live long in the memory for many years to come. The itinerary worked really well and the timings meant we were never late or rushed. The other activities such as Karting, Wine Tasting and Ferrari museo all worked brilliantly. It was a fantastic experience all round.

Our recent rugby tour to Parma, Italy was an unforgettable experience—filled with top-quality rugby, outstanding hospitality, and lasting memories. The clubs we visited—especially Colorno and coach Riian—made us feel completely at home. The strong relationships you’ve built with these clubs were evident throughout the trip, and they made a real difference.

From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth and generosity. The food and hospitality at each club far exceeded our expectations, and we felt genuinely cared for wherever we went.

One of the most heartwarming aspects of the tour was seeing the camaraderie develop between the U12 players from Ireland and Italy. Despite the language barrier, friendships were formed, jerseys were swapped, and the spirit of rugby shone through—it was a joy to witness. The tour was a resounding success.

When I asked the boys what their highlight was, every single one said, without hesitation, “the rugby.” That speaks volumes about the quality of the opposition, the smooth organisation, and the fantastic atmosphere you created. You're doing a brilliant job—thank you for an incredible experience!

SHS organised our Perthshire RFC U15 rugby tour to Verona, Italy, and it was truly an incredible experience.

The stunning scenery upon our arrival set the perfect stage for this amazing opportunity for our players, coaches and managers. The boys had a competitive match against the local team, Vicenza, which not only enhanced their skills but also fostered camaraderie and sportsmanship. They were also fortunate to have a training session with rugby stars Sam Hidalgo-Clyne and Scott Scrafton, which inspired them immensely.

Off the pitch, we explored the rich history and culture of Verona and enjoyed an exciting afternoon of karting. The boys created memories that will last a lifetime.

This tour not only strengthened our team bond but also instilled a greater love for the game. We are incredibly grateful for this opportunity and can’t wait for our next tour.

Thank you Jamie and SHS.

The tour was excellent. Jamie and the team were frankly superb and guided us through the process and didn't over burden us with information request but kept us on track.

Ask the boys the trip to the Aviva and the Hotel were standout highlights, but the two games and the host clubs were utterly amazing with great hospitality and craic with new friendships made between boys, coaches and clubs - the reason we tour. It was a real tour !!!

A full on real rugby tour which player and coaches thoroughly enjoyed. The whole experience was stress free with travel, dinner and accommodation arrangement being expertly arranged.

The hotel in Dublin was spot-on centrally located allowing some exploration of Dublin itself and first class rooms and breakfast. Our two games with Lansdown FC and Portadown RFC were great. They were amazing hosts and made us so welcome, providing a great games on tour experience.

All in an excellent weekend that already has us thinking where next

Our tour was truly unforgettable and brought so much growth to our team. Many of our girls built stronger bonds with one another, both as individuals and as a group, which was one of the most rewarding parts of the experience. The celebration of women in rugby was inspiring, and being able to represent that at the Women’s Rugby World Cup home opener was a highlight that excited every one of our tourists.

On the pitch, our matches were both challenging and rewarding. Our first match against West of Scotland stood out for its respectful and spirited rugby, and we had a great time mingling with them afterward. Our first win was one of the most exciting moments of the tour, with every player stepping up, even though we unfortunately faced some injuries.

The feedback from our team has been overwhelmingly positive. For many, it was a life-changing experience—an opportunity they never thought they would have without this tour. None of it would have been possible without the incredible support of our sponsors: Christina Fazio Real Estate as our main sponsor, The Vault Hair Studio, and Bogle Social Club. We are also so grateful for Sky High’s organizer and tour lead, Jake, whose guidance, communication, and knowledge of the places we visited made the entire journey seamless and unforgettable.

This tour was more than just rugby—it was about connection, growth, and celebrating women in sport. It’s an experience that will stay with us forever.
