Saturday 13th December 2025 – KO 2:15pm
RFU Northern Division Counties 1 Yorkshire
Welcome to Hullensians RUFC’s players, supporters and Committee Members for the first meeting of our clubs in the 25/26 Season. Last season Hullensians were successful home and away – something we hope to address this season! In their last league fixtures Hullensians were beaten by Wath 12-78 at home The Pythons beat Yarnbury at home 33-25.
Welcome to Grace & Morris and their guests to our pre match lunch – thanks Tina Hutchinson for organising and the best of luck to your sponsored player Ben Pryor – he scored 2 tries and kicked several points last week! Welcome too to our referee for today, Harry Graham – I think his first trip to The Jim Saynor Ground.
This is our third season in Counties 1. Last season was better and the guys put up some great performances finishing 8th in the table. Thanks to our great coaching team we’re applying the lessons learned and things are beginning to come together.
With a bit of luck the weather holds fair and we’ll enjoy the game. Best of luck to both sides.
