Hi all!

New(ish) student to the area, was wondering if any of you could reccommend:

a) a good pub in/near the town centre to watch the rugby on Friday/Saturday nights

b) a decent amateur side again in or near the town centre

I used to play back in Warrington until I moved up here and haven't stumbled accross an amateur side here yet. Google told me names of clubs, but I'd like a reccomendation of a decent side in a fairly high league if possible.

I live on Firth Street at the moment, but moving to just behind the station somewhere in September, so anywhere close to there would be excellent

Thanks in advance

Train to Hull, watch Rovers.

get beaten by Huddersfield.

In answer to the question; I'd guess that Moldgreen will be your nearest club.

Guess again

Jo's from town centre but from where he lives it's Newsome.

He did specify successful though.

Rules everyone out in Huddersfield then




Though Joe's are our top side

Pub to watch RL "Crown" Leeds Road Dewsbury.
Amateur club "Shaw Cross" all age groups. Leeds road Dewsbury.

Pm me for more info.

Sorry going by your name, I was thinking you had moved to Morley and then realised it was a reference to Adrian Morley.
Anyway the places mentioned are about 25 mins from Hudds.

Yeah 25 mins is a bit too far to be honest. The pub in Newsome sounds alright though, probably give it a go on Friday.

Couldn't find any info on training from the website, but what day/time do Joe's 2nd team train?

When I get my bike up here I think I'll head down there. Is it fairly easy to spot or hidden away behind the houses?

A couple of websites for you:

[url=http://www.pennineleague.co.uk/home.phpPennine League[/url

[url=http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/stjosephs/St Joes Website[/url

Teams around the town centre are are:

Moldgreen
Newsome
St Joes

Moldgreen play in Division 1 and are struggling for players at the moments so if you want to play regularly then thats the place to be. Good facilities with access to a gym if you need it.

Newsome play in Division 2 and have both 1st and 2nd teams (2nd team play in Division 7). Play out of Newsome High School and go back to the Fountain Inn at Newsome which shows live rugby on the big screen as well as on 2 smaller TV's in seperate rooms. On the downside you'd bump into Gahan on match days!



St Joes play in the Premier Division and are coached by Keith Senior and are holders of the Holliday Cup. Play on the hallowed turf of Fartown (off Spaines Road). 2nd Team play in Division 6 and have just won the James Conlan Memorial Cup.

If you are looking for a team to play for in Summer your nearest team is Underbank Rangers (based in Holmfirth). They are coached by York City Knights player Richard Knight and Swinton Lions half back Ritchie Knight. They play in the Rugby Conference National which runs from April til September and then the winter season begins. They also have a winter team that play in Division 4 and a 2nd team playing in division 7.

If you need contact numbers for any of the above mentioned clubs let me know via PM

If they ever get round to playing a game

They've scratched the last 2 weekends and one of them was at home !!

Gatehead away was because Gateshead couldnt raise a squad
this weeks home match because Underbank couldnt raise a squad (winter commitments)

Thought it was Keighley Cougers Richard Knight and Swinton Half Back Ritchie Hawkyard??

Dont believe everything you read in the Examiner, Gateshead had a team, Underbank ducked it

Quote ="Chaka"Thought it was Keighley Cougers Richard Knight and Swinton Half Back Ritchie Hawkyard??'" Nope Richard Knight is at York this season www.yorkcityknights.co.uk/index2.html

Basis of a good team though and with the recruitment of a couple of players will do well in div 2 next season. if you fancy watching a game Moldgreen are playing tomorrow night at home against elland www.pennineleague.co.uk/fixtures.php although it might not quite sell the team as it will more than likely be a bit one sided. (Elland looking at potential promotion Moldgreen all but relegated)

Bottom line is they have scratched 2 games
