More than a rugby club

Ninety-six years
of Hipperholme

Brodstock brings around 6,000 people onto the field every June and has raised more than £150,000 for Overgate Hospice, Yorkshire Air Ambulance and Calderdale MS Group since 2014. The club's volunteers hold the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.

Emergency services days, memorial matches, a cycling section, and a clubhouse that is open long after the final whistle.
