Keep an eye out for some exciting player content and more on the 7s as well in the next couple of week!

No we won’t be doing any of those daft re-signing posts

The sun is back out and the big guns are out

We are hosting a touring side from Yarm Rugby Club from 1pm onwards ahead of the Mambas at 2:30.

Come for the Union, stay for league, and at that point you may as well remain at Far Moss for sunshine, beers and more live sport on the screens

A Sunday treat on bank holiday weekend

With it being a bank holiday you don’t have to worry about the hangxiety until Monday.

Dear Members and Fans,

It's not often we come out with a request but, we've been lucky to secure a grant for some much needed pitch equipment (a new tractor!!!) to keep the grass in "tip-top" condition!

We just need to raise 25% of its cost to get the deal over the line. Please, if you can, click the link and help us reach our targe!

Donate to Tractor Fund, organized by Moortown RUFC We are raising £9,000 to be able to complete our Football Foundation funding and purchase much needed groun… Moortown RUFC needs your support for Tractor Fund

ONE LAST DANCE… PROBABLY
•
It’s the final regulation week of the season and it’s a big one for the First XV. They currently sit 5th in the league, enough for an unlikely run at play-offs.
This will be no mean feat though as they travel to Pocklington needing a bonus point win to guarantee the play-off spot. The prize? An away trip to Pocklington next week.
All eyes will be on Feathers Field and good luck to the lads
•
The Marauders play their final game of the season Dow at Far Moss against Cleckheaton. Town won a tight and physical affair away earlier this year and will be hoping for the same tomorrow to finish the season with a flourish.
•
Meanwhile in another world, the Mambas face Bramley Buffaloes RFC on the hallowed turf at 13:30. Looking to bounce back from defeat last week the lads will be raring to go and Bramley will be a tough proposition with a number of the lads still playing rugby yawnion for a week or two!
•
For one last regulation time this season we say thank you to our sponsors Morley Glass & Clarion Solicitors the finest in the business. Their support all season has been invaluable to making the club run smoothly, keeping the lads dressed and the floodlights on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Hopefully we get to say thank you again next week but time will tell.
•
Go well everyone involved
•

As we enter into Easter weekend and a break from rugby, now is the time to announce the return and rebrand of the Moortown 7s tournament
•
This year, we plan to start small with an Elite men’s and Elite women’s competition with a view to growing each year!
•
The weekend? July 4th, or Independence Day if you’re of an American persuasion
•
Why 6-7’s? Other than being a horrendous internet trend for Gen Z, we will host 6 teams in the men’s and women’s formats culminating into 2 grand finals at the end of the day
•
Prizes? You bet, cash prizes for the winners, bar tabs and much more. There’s even rumours of a giant wooden spoon
•
Food and drink? We’ve got you covered, in addition to the main bar we will have outdoor watering holes as well as hot food options throughout the day - stay tuned for more information
•
For entries please email [email protected] and we will release more information on tickets and other details in the coming weeks
•
Don’t miss out and what promises to be a great day for summer rugby
