🐝🏉 MATCH DAY: SENIOR WOMEN 🏉🐝

The Hornets Senior Women are back in action this Saturday, June 13, as they hit the road to take on the Niagara Rugby Club! 💪🔥

📅 Saturday, June 13
🕧 Kickoff: 12:30 PM
📍 Niagara Rugby Club
1105 Barron Road, Niagara Falls

After an exciting start to the 2026 season, the women will be looking to keep their momentum rolling against another tough opponent. If you're in the area, come out and show your support from the sidelines! 💛🖤

Good luck, ladies — let's bring the buzz to Niagara! 🐝

🏉🐝 A new era at Mohawk Sports Park! 🐝🏉

After many years of the old mixed-sport uprights standing watch over Field #1, we're excited to officially welcome our new rugby-specific goal posts to The Nest! 🙌

This upgrade marks another important milestone for the Hamilton Hornets and the growth of rugby in our city, with Field #1 at Mohawk Sports Park now effectively becoming an exclusively rugby-dedicated field for our club and community.

A huge thank you goes to Ward 6 Councillor and long-time Hornets supporter, Tom Jackson, for helping make this project a reality. A familiar face around the club and certainly no stranger to a scrum, Councillor Jackson doesn't move the goalposts... he upgrades them. 💪🏉

Pictured standing between the newly upgraded posts at Mohawk Sports Park with members of the Hamilton Hornets, this moment represents more than just new equipment. It's an investment in the future of rugby in Hamilton and in the generations of players who will run out beneath these posts for years to come.

Here's to many tries, conversions, and unforgettable memories at The Nest. 💛🖤

🏉🐝 Another action-packed Saturday at The Nest!

The Senior Women continued their impressive 2026 campaign, battling right until the final whistle to earn a thrilling 41–38 victory. An incredible team effort and an absolute cracker of a match! 🔥💪

The Senior Men also put together a determined performance, leaving everything out on the pitch in a hard-fought contest. While the result didn't fall our way this time, the effort never stopped. Final score: 45–26.

Thank you to everyone who came out to support, volunteered behind the scenes, and helped make it another fantastic day of rugby at Mohawk Sports Park. Win or lose, there's nothing quite like Saturdays at The Nest. 💛🖤

🏉🐝 Another big weekend of rugby at The Nest!

On Saturday, our Senior Women and Senior Men hosted in a pair of hard-fought matches.

🔥 The Senior Women continued their strong start to the season with an impressive 51-5 victory over a determined Stratford side that battled right through to the final whistle.

💪 The Senior Men were locked in a physical contest all afternoon and fought until the end, but the result went Stratford's way with a final score of 29-19.

Sunday saw our U14 Boys and Girls host Waterloo, Guelph, Burlington, and Oakville for a fantastic day of junior rugby. Plenty of smiles and plenty of great rugby. Thanks to all the clubs for making it such a great day — rugby was the real winner! 🏉❤️

🐝🏉 U14 Player of the Week: Grayson! 🏉🐝

Grayson put together a fantastic week of training and backed it up on game day by scoring the Hornets' only try of the match! 💪🔥

Hard work, determination, and a great attitude all week long earned him this week's U14 Player of the Week honours. Keep it up, Grayson! 👏

🏉🐝 Rugby, laughter, and plenty of new faces on the pitch!

A big thank you to the 64th Hamilton Girl Guides for coming out to the Hornets' Next to give rugby a try! We had a fantastic time sharing the sport with such an enthusiastic group and showing everyone what girls' rugby is all about.

Special thanks to our Hornets volunteers Amy, Kelsey, and Kindle for helping organize and run the session. Your time and energy helped make it a great experience for everyone involved 💛🖤

🌧️🏉 Mud, rain, cold weather… must mean rugby season is officially back in Hamilton 🐝

This past weekend had all the classic muddy spring weather from start to finish — and everyone embraced it.

Both our Senior Men and Senior Women were on the road Saturday, taking on the Stoney Creek Camels Rugby Club, and both squads came away with big wins to kick off their regular seasons.

🐝 Senior Women: 26–12 WIN

🐝 Senior Men: 25–21 WIN

A huge start to the year for both teams!

Sunday saw our U14 Boys & Girls travel to Burlington, where the wet weather continued, but so did the smiles, muddy jerseys, and great rugby. Huge thank you to Burlington Centaurs Rugby Football Club for hosting the kids for a fantastic day on the pitch 🙌

And of course… what better way to celebrate the U14 Boys Man of the Match performance than with a legendary shoey 👟😂

The rugby season is rolling now. Let’s keep building 🖤💛

🏉🌍 A fantastic night at The Nest on Thursday, welcoming touring side Pulborough RFC to Hamilton for the first stop of their North American tour! 🐝
