The 1st XV clinched the North Premier title today with an entertaining bonus point victory over Ilkley 42-26.
It’s been a fantastic season for Paul Arnold and the squad with just one defeat, and everyone at the club would like to congratulate those involved for bouncing back to National 2 North at the first attempt.
The 1st XV have 3 games remaining with home games against Morley on the 7th April and Sandal on the 21st April. Both games have sold out for hospitality but be sure to come down and enjoy the last few games safe in the knowledge that we are champions!
