📢 Congratulations Charlie Feeley! 📢

Everyone at Widnes RUFC would like to congratulate Charlie Feeley on his selection for the North of England U20s Divisional Squad.

This latest achievement caps off what has been a remarkable season for Charlie. Not only has he established himself as a key member of our 1st XV squad, helping the team secure a play-off place and reach the Lancashire Cup Final, but he has also represented Lancashire U20s with distinction throughout the campaign.

His outstanding performances and commitment were recognised by his teammates and coaches when he was awarded Widnes RUFC 1st XV Player of the Year - a fitting reward for an exceptional season.

Now, Charlie takes the next step on his rugby journey with selection for the North of England, where he will have the opportunity to compete alongside and against some of the best young players in the country.

A thoroughly deserved honour for a player who continues to work hard, improve and represent the club with pride.

Congratulations Charlie – everyone at the club is incredibly proud of you and we wish you the very best in the upcoming festivals. 🔴⚫️

🏉 THANK YOU 🏉

Now the dust has settled and the clean up complete, we'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped make Finals Day at Widnes RUFC such a success.

Firstly, thank you to Lancashire Rugby for giving us the opportunity to host the Lancashire Bowl and Plate Finals. It was a privilege to welcome players, officials and supporters from across the county to Heath Road.

A massive thank you must also go to our incredible volunteers, Grounds staff and bar staff, whose hard work behind the scenes ensured the day ran smoothly from start to finish. Events like this simply wouldn't be possible without your commitment and support.

Congratulations to all four clubs involved – Fleetwood, Burnley, Southport and Bolton – for producing two excellent finals in challenging conditions. The quality, commitment and spirit shown throughout the afternoon was a credit to everyone involved.

We hope all players, officials and supporters enjoyed their visit to Widnes and we wish each club the very best for the future.

🔴⚫️ Thank you for being part of a fantastic day of Lancashire rugby at Widnes RUFC. 🔴⚫️

🏉 Regional 2 North West 2026/27 🏉

The league line-up for the new season has now been confirmed and we can officially start looking ahead to another exciting campaign for Widnes RUFC.

There will be plenty of familiar faces and local rivalries returning, along with some tough challenges across the North West. With fixtures still to be released, the anticipation is already building as players, coaches, members and supporters begin counting down to the start of the new season.

Our Regional 2 North West opponents for 2026/27 will be:

🔴 Birkenhead Park
⚫ Burnage
🔴 Douglas (Isle of Man)
⚫ Firwood Waterloo
🔴 Kirkby Lonsdale
⚫ Manchester
🔴 Northwich
⚫ Sandbach
🔴 Warrington
⚫ Wilmslow
🔴 Winnington Park

After a strong 2025/26 campaign that saw the 1st XV secure a play-off place with a 4th-place finish, the squad will be eager to go one step further this season. While the Lancashire Cup Final ended in heartbreak by the narrowest of margins last weekend, there is plenty to be proud of and plenty to build on heading into the new campaign.

With a well-earned break now underway, pre-season preparations aren't too far away. Another competitive Regional 2 North West campaign awaits, and we can't wait to see what this group can achieve together in 2026/27.
