Empire Players Represent UAE at the U20 Asia Championship

Empire Rugby Academy is proud to celebrate the incredible achievements of seven of our Block One Academy players who earned international selection for the U20 Asia Championship held in Bihar, India on August 9–10 this summer.

Representing the UAE National Team were Tilly Dando, Chloe Andrews, Jess Harris, Jade Blommaert, Lara Shah, and Ella Brookes, with Naduli De Silva selected to represent Sri Lanka.

We are extremely proud of these players and all they accomplished at the U20 Asia Championship. Their performances over the summer were a reflection of their hard work, determination, and love for the game. It’s been a privilege to see them develop and grow as part of Empire, and we look forward to watching their rugby journeys continue to flourish.
