Today we held our AGM, so what better opportunity to hold joint union and touch training in the sun ☀️

Bingham is too expensive. Here in Yorkshire, we’re famous in the UK for being cheap, and we’re proud of it.

That’s why our Bingham bid has affordability as a guiding principle. We want to deliver value for money for all, to stop the crazy cost escalation, to put on a fair game at a fair price.

Because inclusive rugby cannot come with an exclusive cost.

On Friday morning, we almost forfeited today’s series day due to low numbers.. but the Hunters rallied together to bring an excellent performance - finishing overall in 3rd place on the day🥉. We had some fantastic score lines against strong opposition squads, testament to the massive shift in defence from everyone. Big thanks to our contact players who stepped in and played as naturals. Super fun day as always, thank you to for hosting!

Congrats to for getting player of the tournament for fantastic defensive effort and smashing it in mid!

Get yourselves down to Thursday 16th July and kick off your celebrations in style with the annual Leeds Hunters Drag Battle Fundraiser.

It promises to be a brilliant evening, hosted by our very own star and reigning queen, . This year’s contestants will be judged by , former champion, and special guest judge 🔥

Don’t miss out on a fabulous evening of entertainment!

The Amanda Mark Cup (FLINTA division) will proceed under special arrangements that ensure trans women are able to participate enabling us to create a safe, fair and inclusive playing environment for all.

Leeds Hunters Rugby stands firmly in support of trans inclusion in rugby, reflecting both our club values and the spirit of the Bingham Cup and our IGR community.

Our priority remains that every player can take part with confidence, integrity and a genuine sense of belonging.

Huge thanks to Spen Lane Cleaners for keeping our players, officials and volunteers looking sharp at last weekend's Touch Rugby Festival. We are really grateful that your sports kit service is such good value we were able to easily cover the cost and allow teams to have their kit washed for free.

We believe that rugby is for everyone. We’re taking that spirit to the global stage as we bid for the 2028 Bingham and Amanda Mark Cup.

Leeds is a city with a proud rugby heritage, excellent transport links, and a proven record of hosting large-scale international and LGBTQ+ events.

Crucially, it is home to a visible, active, and resilient LGBTQ+ community. Leeds does not simply have the capacity to host the Bingham Cup — it reflects its spirit.

It’s time to show the world what Northern hospitality looks like.
