While we worked incredibly hard to build teams for the 2026 season, unfortunately we didnโt quite reach the player numbers needed to field teams for the HJRU 2026 Rugby 15s winter competition.
For those in the community who may not be across how rugby competitions work, winter 15s is just one of many formats of the game. So while we wonโt be stomping the local fields this winter, weโll still be very much active and focusing on development and community.
Building a new club from the ground up takes time and what weโve created already is something weโre incredibly proud of. The vision for Morpeth Rugby has always been long-term โ a club where families can watch their kids and even their grandkids play one day.
Over the coming months weโll be running skill academies and training sessions with our outstanding coaches Seru and Seva, who are committed to helping grow the club and developing young players.
Weโll also be entering and supporting other formats including rugby 7s, 10s and Tag, so there will still be plenty of opportunities to play, learn and stay connected to rugby.
A huge thank you to the wider rugby community for their support โ

We truly appreciate the encouragement and willingness to help our players find opportunities this season.
This is exactly what junior rugby union in rural communities should be about โ clubs supporting each other and keeping kids in the game.
We would also like to sincerely thank the local businesses and sponsors who have already backed Morpeth Rugby in our foundation year. Your belief and support means a great deal as we continue building the club.
This club has been built with passion and belief and Morpeth Rugby is here for the long run.
