We’re delighted to announce Ben Iveson will be joining the 1st XV coaching staff for the upcoming Yorkshire Counties 2 campaign! 🔵⚪️

“I’m delighted to welcome Ben onto the coaching team, his enthusiasm and his ability to think outside of the box is refreshing. His skill sets will be invaluable to the lads in the up and coming 26/27 campaign, as Ben, Josh and I really want to focus on developing individuals as well as coaching a squad.” - Paul Jowett

It is with great sadness that we share the news that our former player & president Alan Ingham passed away peacefully on Saturday 30th May.
Affectionately known to many as “Inky” his involvement with the Halifax Vandals spanned several decades, and he will be fondly remembered by all at the club. Alan was simply the kindest of men, a true gentleman & he will be sadly missed.
Our thoughts are with Hazel, Andrew, Joanne & all the family at this sad time.

Funeral to be held at Warley St John’s Church on the 3rd of July at 11:00. Refreshments after at the Maypole Inn Warley.

Our Counties 2 Yorkshire A opponents for the upcoming season! 🏉

Following a full restructure, 2XV’s have been introduced into the leagues. This has led to a major reshuffle across the divisions, causing Counties 2 Yorkshire to be split into 2 divisions. This creates an exciting new challenge, with a mix of new opposition and familiar faces.

Fixtures will be announced once they are confirmed 🔵⚪️

Always happy to help!

We would like to offer our many thanks to the Committee at Halifax Vandals RUFC for their support with a couple of our Junior Teams training at their base whilst we have essential works done on our two pitches which as frustrating as it is, is out of our control.

Many thanks for your help and support 🤝
