players of the 1st and 2nd teams playing
in the same team.
We have Juniors playing from
U6 through to the U18 Colts – 350+
youngsters
training/playing
every
Sunday. A great thank you has to go
the 60+ coaches who help with the
development of these players. The more
players we have coming through the
system, the stronger our senior teams
will be in the future.
This year saw the introduction of
York RUFC Women’s team. With many
of them playing rugby for the first time,
it was a great start for them in winning
all their friendlies! They hope to be
accepted into a league for the coming
season. We also have a York RUFC Girls
team for the under 18’s who will feed
into the Women’s team.
The remainder of 2018 will see
the preparations being made for the
2018/2019 season – especially the 1st XV.
They’ll be playing in North One East and
will have to ‘step up’ for what lies ahead.
It will be challenging but hopefully
enjoyable!
York RUFC has played in Yorkshire
1 for a number of years and have made
many friends. In some ways it will
be strange not going to some of our
favourite grounds and seeing many
familiar faces but we’ve waited a long
time for this chance and don’t intend to
let it slip from our grasp.
Our last time playing in North One
East was in 2007. The last three times
that we’ve played in North One East,
we’d been promoted as runners up
after winning the play-off game – only
to come back down the next season. We
don’t intend to repeat the experience!
