Harrogate v York- 7th March 2026
Welcome to Harrogate Rugby Club...
This Club is going places…
Good afternoon, and welcome to Harrogate Rugby Club for this Regional 1 North East home game against York RUFC.
When I think back to when York last visited us at Rudding Lane, it is a stark reminder of how far we have come as a club. From an “unplayable bog” (not my words) to an amazing showcase pitch in two seasons is no mean feat. It wouldn’t happen without the support, commitment, and hard work of everyone associated with the club. And we are just getting started!
We will be welcoming a very different York team from the one we faced last year. Their recent efforts have seen them start to pull clear of the danger zone, and while we can’t offer anything to help today, we hope they are able to remain in a league that they deserve to be competing in.
It is also important for me to recognise the contribution Jacob Percival has made to the club, especially during my time as Chairman. Players like him make my job so much easier as his contribution to the spirit and culture of the club aligns perfectly with our vision and mission. It was great to celebrate his 100th cap in Ilkley but worth notiing if he hadn’t gone sking during the Blaydon game he could have celebreated at home!
Have a great day and come on the Gate
Yours in Rugby,
Mark Garrett
Chairman, Harrogate RUFC
Tom Boyle Cup 2026
Harrogate RUFC are proud to welcome former Otley player Tom Boyle, as the team today will be playing for the Tom Boyle Cup.
Harrogate are the current holders of the cup after a dramatic thrashing of their closest rivals, Otley, last year, and hope to make it back-to-back wins today.
Tom, through his Le Tomic Foundation, is raising money for Emerging Voices, a fantastic, York-based charity. The charity enables adults with lived experience of mental ill health to reach their potential as musicians and artists, in a collaborative and friendly environment.
Tom will be inviting visitors to enter his raffle with the chance to win some amazing prizes, including:
- Tickets to Comedy on the Farm
- 2 tickets to watch England Football v Uruguay Club in the Wembley Lounge (27th March)
- A signed Le Tomic jersey
Please show your support for Tom and all the great work he does in support of mental health.
Percy Tons Up!
Everyone’s fifth favourite front rower passed his 100 cap milestone away at Ilkley last week with a Man of the Match performance!
Despite coming from the wrong side of the Pennines, Jacob has become a cornerstone of the pack and the club.
Leading the charge on and off the field, Percy’s contribution over the recent, up-and-down seasons has been amazing. Even taking time out on Sunday mornings to teach the youngsters the dark arts!
Well done Jacob Percival, an Ace for Life!
