Leeds Modernians Ex-professional Rugby League player Andy Lowe is the Director of Rugby at Leeds Modernians RFC. He told Rugby Club Magazine, “Our ethos is to enjoy our Rugby whatever league position we are in. We see mainly new faces every season with our populous coming from the student fraternity which makes up 60% of our players. “We currently put out three senior teams, all competing within the Yorkshire leagues, our 1st XV plays in YO3 and our seconds and 3rds are in the merit leagues. This provides a great strength in depth for our club as well as having a good crossover of players with our rugby League sides. “Unfortunately, we are unable to build junior rugby at Leeds Modernians due to RFU regulations and the volume of junior rugby already existing amongst other clubs in our region. “It is felt that the name change from Old Modernians to Leeds Modernians may be getting used as an RFU test case as there are so many clubs out there who have held onto their old school links although ties between school and club no longer exist. This has certainly been the case with ourselves. “Our ambition as a sports club is to become more community orientated and it is generally felt that our name change is a very positive one that ensures we send out a strong message locally.” Chartered Accountants and Business Advisors We are an accountancy practice that has set out to be a little different.
