Old Brodleians RUFC · Est 1930

New players welcome

Join the club

Boots and a gumshield. That is genuinely the whole list — we'll sort everything else out when you get here.

Men aged 17 and over

Senior men

Four sides means there is rugby here whatever your level — from Regional 2 North East with the Men's 1st XV down to the Beavers, where turning up matters more than the result.

Training Tuesday and Thursday evenings

Women aged 17 and over

Women

The Women's 1st XV play Sundays. Plenty of the squad had never picked up a rugby ball before joining, so no experience is needed and none is assumed.

Matches on Sundays

Contact the club

Boys and girls, age 4 to 18

Juniors & minis

Nineteen age-group sides from Brods Tots upward, boys and girls. Sunday mornings at Woodhead. Most children arrive knowing nobody and having never played — that is completely normal here.

Sunday mornings

Not sure where you fit?

Drop the club a line through the contact page, or just come down to Woodhead on a Sunday morning. Someone will point you at the right group. Every age group also has a named coach you can ring directly.
