🐝 New hive alert…
We’re buzzing to welcome Robin Bolton as the new Junior Chairman of Bradford & Bingley RFC

Robin’s been part of the Club for 40 years — from junior player, to senior player, to coaching the next generation and helping bring home back-to-back Yorkshire Cup wins. That’s serious club DNA. 💛🖤

For the next 2 years, he’ll be joined by Chris McManus as Junior Vice Chair — more on Chris soon.

Our juniors are the future of the club, and Robin’s all in on making sure they’ve got the support, energy, and opportunities to keep thriving. Because the hive only grows when the next generation does.

As Robin says, what makes this club special is the community — rugby is more than the game, it’s about teamwork, friendship, respect, and making sure every player and family feels welcome and part of it all.
He’s also keen to grow volunteering across the club, because even the smallest helping hand makes a big difference.

If you see Robin around, give him a shout and help keep the hive moving forward.

Bright future. Big buzz. Same club spirit. 🐝✨

🐝 Bees Academy Buzz 🐝
A stinging performance from the young Bees today, securing a convincing 38–5 win over our local rivals Old Brods!

The lads came out firing from the first whistle — strong carries, slick hands, and some serious pace out wide. Every tackle hit like a thunderclap, every pass stuck like honey on toast.

Plenty of tries, plenty of smiles, and plenty of promise from this buzzing bunch. The future’s looking bright in black and amber.

🐝💥 Former Bees Academy star Tommy Rhodes has made history — becoming youngest ever try scorer! 🐺🔥

From buzzing around to howling with the Wolves, Tommy’s proving that hard work and talent sting in all the right ways. 🏉⚡

Still just a young gun, but already making big moves — the future’s looking seriously bright for this one. 🌟

Keep flying high, Tommy — once a Bee, always a Bee! 🖤💛

🏉 Bees Academy Buzzing! 🐝
An altered fixture saw the lads switch from an away day to a home hive and an earlier 12 noon kick-off — but that didn’t throw them off their stride!

Trailing 7–15 at half time, the Bees came out firing in the second half to storm home 31–15 winners 💪🔥

Brilliant effort across the board, with a couple of U16s stepping up to bolster the squad — the future’s looking bright and buzzing 🖤💛
