It’s knockout rugby this Tuesday night as the 2nd XV head to Wharfedale for an Aire/Wharfe Plate Semi-Final clash.

⏰ 7pm Kick Off

A huge test awaits, and the lads will need all the backing they can get. Get yourselves up to Grassington, make some noise on the touchline, and get behind the boys all the way 👏

𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙐𝙇𝙏𝙎...

A fantastic way for the 1st XV to round off the season with a dominant win away at Ossett. A standout performance from Fola Dairo, who crossed the line an incredible six times.

The 2nd XV gave it everything against Old Rish 2s, pushing them all the way before late tries edged the game out of reach. Credit to Old Rish on their unbeaten season and well-earned promotion.

Wishing both clubs every success for next season and beyond.
