As usual, there will be a food court, beer outlets, music and a feast of rugby and with the weather set to be sunny and warm, what excuse do you have for not turning up?? All in all, it should be a great day!

Our grateful thanks to all thiose who have sponsored the event, including Penney Petroleum and Vertu Motors, and all those who have helped organise it and everyone helping out on the day.

Percy Park have withdrawn from this seasons Men's Papa John's Community Cup and will therefore forfeit their Quarter-Final against Cleckheaton in the Regional 1 Plate competition. After a narrow 40-34 victory in the first leg last weekend, the second leg was scheduled at Cleckheaton this coming Sunday but has now been cancelled. Park had too many players unavailable with only six able to travel to West Yorkshire at the weekend. Our apologies to our opponents and we wish them well in the competition.

It brings the fifteen-a-side season to an end with attention now turning to our annual 7s event which takes place at Preston Avenue on Saturday, 17 May 2025, KO from 11am. There will be beer, an outside food court, ice cream and a feast of seven's rugby so what's not to enjoy! SEE YOU THERE!
