A Home from Home: Eton Manor and Cyprus Rugby

There are partnerships in rugby and then there are relationships that genuinely shape programmes. Eton Manor RFC sits firmly in the latter.

Once again, they opened their doors and delivered, not just as hosts, but as true supporters of Cyprus Rugby’s growth. Over the past season alone, the club has played a pivotal role in our journey: from hosting our pre-season camp in August 2025, to staging our first-ever U23s training camp and fixture, and now providing the platform for the launch of our Women’s programme.

“As President of Cyprus Rugby, I would like to personally thank Eton Manor for their enduring support across many years. Their belief in our programs continue to make a lasting difference to everything we do.”

-- Constantinos Constantinides, CRF President

Moments like these don’t happen in isolation, they’re built on trust, shared values, and a willingness to invest in something bigger. Our connection with Eton Manor runs deep.

George Cosma, a central figure in Cyprus Rugby, captains the club, while current players Kai Star Phillips and Alex Phantis continue to represent that link on the field.

The connection stretches further still, through a lineage of players who have worn both shirts, including Billy Cosma, Pantelis Stylianou, Alex Thompson, Daniel Stavrinou and Gio Dall’Amico.

This isn’t just a venue we return to. It’s a club that has become part of our story.

And as new chapters continue to be written, across men’s, U23s and now women’s rugby, Eton Manor remains right there alongside us.

For that, we are, and will remain, incredibly grateful.
