ALL SUPPORT FOR OUR TEAMS WOULD BE MOST WELCOME 

As always, there will be the usual feast of televised sport in the clubhouse over the couse of the weekend including the return of the Premier League. 

Our Percy Park Colts continues their superb start to the season with an excellent 12-52 victory at leaders Gosforth on Sunday, and now sit proudly on top of their league. The lads played some breathtaking rugby, even when down at one stage to thirteen players. Although struggling for numbers at the moment, there is a core of really talented players, and it is now four wins from four in the league and with players returning in the not too distant future, a very successful season looks a real possibility.

The Club are incredibly proud of your efforts and a huge thank you to the players, coaches and management for all of the hard work and commitment.
