A HUGE thank you to Dee from Retro Bakes!

It’s things like this that remind us just how lucky we are to have such an amazing local community and brilliant club friends supporting North. Whether you’re playing, volunteering, attending an event, bringing the kids down, supporting from the sidelines or simply getting behind the club - it all makes a difference. 🏉

A massive thank you to everyone who supported Dee and Retro Bakes and helped make this possible. ❤️

We’re hoping to see plenty more community events, collaborations and club socials in the future - not just to raise funds, but to bring people together, have a good time and keep making North Manchester RUFC a club our whole community can be proud of. 💚

Thank you, Dee! What a brilliant contribution! 👏

Pre-season is finally here!

Join us this Saturday for our first pre-season friendly of the year as we welcome Clwb Rygbi Dinbych to Tudor Lodge.

It’s a special occasion too, with one of our own making his return from Wales - bringing his new teammates along for what promises to be a fantastic contest.

Both sides will be looking to shake off the cobwebs ahead of the new season, so expect plenty of physical rugby, great atmosphere and, of course, a few well-earned drinks afterwards.

Get down, get behind the lads, and let’s start the season the right way.
