Following promotion last season, we’re delighted to confirm our place in NOWIRUL Division 3 South for the 2026/27 campaign.

The new league structure brings a mixture of familiar rivals and clubs we haven’t crossed paths with for many years, making for an exciting season ahead.

After a season that saw us secure promotion and reach the cup final, we’re looking forward to the challenge of taking the next step as a club.

We can’t wait to welcome teams to Millgate Lane and make the trip to some new grounds across the North West.

Roll on September. 🏉

Our final award from the End of Season celebrations is the Long Service Award, which was awarded to Tom Fuller after many seasons at the club 👏

Whilst he has recently relocated, Tom has had a huge impact on Old Bedians during his many years at Millgate Lane.

Over the years, Tom made more than 200 appearances in a Bedians shirt and captained our 2nd XV for multiple seasons, showing incredible commitment, leadership and loyalty throughout his time at the club.

A brilliant servant to Old Bedians both on and off the pitch, and someone who we’ll greatly miss having around the club week in week out.

A thoroughly deserved recognition for his contribution over so many years 👏

Next up is our Players’ Player of the Season 👏

Voted for by the squad, this award goes to someone who has earned the respect of their teammates through their performances, commitment and influence throughout the season.

This year’s winner is Charley Brown.

Playing at centre, Charley was outstanding all season, scoring over 20 tries and consistently delivering big performances when it mattered most. As well as what he brought on the pitch, he was also a real leader within the group and played a huge role in driving standards across the season.

A top season from start to finish, and a fully deserved winner 👏

Next up is our Captain’s Player of the Season 👏

Despite a number of outstanding candidates there was one player who really took a massive leap this season - Gabriel Hogan 🙌

Gabe’s performances have been outstanding all season.

His lineout throwing has been a massive weapon for us, giving us real consistency and control. And defensively, the improvement has been huge. He’s been putting himself about and leading from the front each game.

He also came second in the Players’ Player vote, which tells you how highly everyone rates him. 🏆

Next up, our Clubman of the Year 👏

This award recognises an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the club across all areas, and this year’s winner is Ian Betts! 🎉

Ian has played a huge role in bringing together our senior, junior and Touch sections, helping to build a true one club culture that continues to strengthen the whole of Old Bedians.

On top of that, he coaches our Under 8s, has put himself forward to lead the junior section next season as Chairman, and has worked hard behind the scenes to secure new sponsors ahead of next season.

His impact across the club has been massive, and his dedication doesn’t go unnoticed.

Thoroughly deserved 👏
