Leicester Forest Rugby Club

🏆 PT Cup 2026🏆

What a brilliant day of rugby, sunshine and community spirit at yesterday’s Paul Tebbatt Cup!

Congratulations to Burbage, who took home the cup after winning two of their three games — thoroughly deserved!

A particularly special moment was having Tebbo there to present the cup himself. The whole Tebbatt family have been overwhelmed by the support, encouragement and love they’ve received from their rugby family, and yesterday was a lovely reminder of just what makes rugby so special.

A huge thank you to all the teams who took part and helped make it such a fantastic day. Great rugby, plenty of fun and a whole lot of sunshine — exactly what it’s all about. 💙

The Paul Tebbatt Cup is nearly here!

This Saturday we welcome Oakham, Melton and Burbage to Forest for a great afternoon of rugby.

📅 Saturday 22nd August
⏰ Fun starts from 11am
🏉 Rugby kicks off at 1pm

Here’s the match schedule for the afternoon!

There’ll also be live music, a comedian, inflatables and food trucks, so plenty going on both on and off the pitch.

Come down, support the teams and enjoy the day with us.

Introducing the inaugural Paul Tebbatt Cup.

This year, we’re incredibly proud to name our new annual mini rugby tournament in honour of our former Club President, Paul Tebbatt, who has recently experienced ill health.

Paul has dedicated so much to Leicester Forest RFC over the years, and this is our way of recognising his commitment, friendship and lasting impact on our club. We hope he’ll be with us on the day to present the very first Paul Tebbatt Cup to its deserving winners.

Join us on Saturday 22nd August from 11am for a fantastic day of senior rugby, community spirit and family fun.

Teams from Leicester Forest RFC, Syston RFC, Melton Mowbray RFC and Trinity RFC will compete for the inaugural trophy.

There’ll be plenty happening throughout the day too, including live music, a comedian, food trucks and inflatables.

Whether you’re supporting a team, catching up with friends or simply looking for a great family day out, we’d love to see you there.

One Club. One Family. 💙🌳

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of former player Peter Clarke.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends and all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Rest in peace, Peter. 💙

Club Clean Up Day – Saturday 18th July from 10am!

With the new season just around the corner, it’s time to get Leicester Forest looking its very best!

Whether you can spare an hour or stay all day, we’d love to see as many members, players, parents and supporters as possible. There are plenty of jobs to get stuck into, including:
🔹 Painting
🔹 Tidying the grounds
🔹 Rubbish collecting
🔹 Cleaning and organising the changing rooms
🔹 Clearing out the Bob Beason Bar
🔹 And lots more!

As a thank you, there’ll be a BBQ and the bar will be open afterwards – a great chance to catch up with everyone while giving something back to the club.

Many hands make light work, so come along and help us get the club ready for another fantastic season. 💙

Remembering those who will always be part of our Forest family. 💙🌳

Our Remembering Absent Friends board is a special place at Leicester Forest RFC, where we honour the memories of loved ones who have been part of our club, our community, or our lives.

If there is someone you’d like to remember with a personalised plaque, we’d be honoured to help. Simply get in touch with us and we’ll arrange everything for you.

Because while they may no longer be with us, they will always be part of our Forest family. 💙

Please send us a message or speak to a member of the club for more information.

Double trouble in the front row! 💥

We’re delighted to confirm that Jack Kirton and Chris Norman are both back in blue for another season.

Two powerful forwards who bring strength at the set piece, relentless work rate around the park and plenty of experience to the squad. Whether it’s putting in the hard yards up front or leading by example, these two are always ready to get stuck in.

Great to have you both back for another season. Let’s go! 💙
