LOUGHBOROUGH STUDENTS RFC V HUDDERSFIELD

RHYS EDWARDS

DIRECTOR OF RUGBY Welcome all to Loughborough University, where today we host Huddersfield in another Round of National 2 North.

Huddersfield will be looking to get a 2nd win of the season, as well as we will be keen to get back to winning ways. Last weeks rearranged game against Stourbridge was great advert to the quality of rugby in the National Leagues. Stourbridge are setting the standard this season, playing a good brand of rugby. There were opportunities for us in the game but it was a lesson in being accurate that set us apart.

This week has been a rest week in BUCS Super Rugby, but the BUCS 2 group had big game in their promotion campaign with an impressive win away at Manchester Met. The game saw the score change hands a number of times with the team 26 – 36 down with 5 mins to go. Coming through with 2 late score they won impressively 38 – 36. The focus for this group is to gain promotion back into the BUCS Premiership.

The Gallagher Premiership clubs this week go into their Cup Programme, and there are a number of our students involved. It’s great to see our students get the opportunity to play at higher level and gain a valuable experience. This weekend sees Saints (3 players), Wasps (3 Players), Tigers (2 Players), Saracens (1 Player) and Worcester (1 Player). This is on top of Freddie Steward playing for England. Go well lads.

All the best to everyone today Rhys Director of Rugby Rhys Director of Rugby Any further information regarding membership, Please contact rugby@lboro.ac.uk for more information.

STAR MAN: Alex Wainwright Loughborough Students REFEREE: Callum Wilson ATTENDANCE: 278

Loughborough hosts a rearranged fixture with Stourbridge and with the wind howling, both sides opt for a close-quarters game.

The home side started with an early charge leading to a disallowed try. Stourbridge couldn’t handle the speed and agility of the home sides’ backs and whenever Will Trinder took the ball, you could be certain they would penetrate though the away sides’ line.

That said, Stourbridge opened the scoring in the 15th minute via a converted try on the top right-hand cover, followed by another try between the posts for Rodley. Loughborough then capitalised on an away side’s infringement scoring a penalty in the 24th minute.

The first half ended with a 23-point difference to the visitors.

Even though Loughborough kept Stourbridge under pressure, Stourbridge scored two additional tries in the 50th & 72nd minute.

Although, Loughborough’s Daniel James scored an additional try in the last few minutes of play, it was too little too late. Final score Loughborough Students 22, Stourbridge 38

At the restart, Loughborough were persistent in their efforts and began to turn the tide. The pack dominated, pushing over to score Loughborough’s first try between the posts. Alex Wainwright then made a fine break and went over the for a converted try in the 50th minute.

LOUGHBOROUGH STUDENTS RFC V HUDDERSFIELD

TODAYS OPPOSITION

HUDDERSFIELD

The town of Huddersfield has a long and proud rugby tradition.

Early records show that the game was first played in the town in 1869 with matches first played on the Rifle Field on Trinity Street. Later, in 1879, the club amalgamated with St.John’s Cricket Club and moved to new grounds at Fartown.

In 1895 the town was the place where the famous rugby ‘split’ took place. Following a dispute between the RFU and the senior teams from Yorkshire and Lancashire twenty clubs resigned their membership of the RFU and formed the new ‘Northern Rugby Football Union’.

Several clubs affected by the breakaway re-formed subsequently and retained the original date of their formation. Not so Huddersfield. a break of 14 years elapsed before a new amateur rugby union club was formed. HRUFC was re-born in 1909 and the club quickly established itself as one of the best in the county.

Following the First World War the club played briefly at Salendine Nook before moving to

new grounds at Waterloo which would be home to the club for the next 87 years. New colours of white jersey, with a claret and gold band were adopted and the club grew in strength. Improvements to the grounds at Waterloo were continually made, and the committee also had the foresight to purchase the grounds when the opportunity presented itself which was to prove hugely beneficial!

As the century neared its end the club was once again in search of more extensive grounds and better facilities to meet the demands of the modern age. The old junior fields were sold to fund the present club at Lockwood Park, officially opened in 1997

by Sir John Harman the Mayor of Kirklees.

Today HRUFC thrives as a multi-sport institution. Three senior rugby teams are run along with a full complement of age grade teams from Under 6’s to Senior Academy.

After the departure of former South Africa International, Andre Snyman, shortly after the start of the covid pandemic, Huddersfield have recruited Neil Ryan as the new backs and attack coach. Ahead of the 2021/22 season Huddersfield have made many new signings including former Loughborough Students player Jonny Mason. In July, Lewis Bradley was announced as the new captain of the side and Tom Hodson as vice-captain.
