🏉 MINI & JUNIOR RUGBY BACK AGAIN 🎉

The Mini and Junior section continues its awakening after its summer break with week 2 kicking off tomorrow morning, and we can’t wait to see Wright's Meadow full of players, parents and plenty of rugby again!

Whether you’re returning for another season or fancy giving rugby a go for the very first time, everyone is welcome. No experience required, just plenty of enthusiasm.

We’d love to see plenty of familiar faces back with us and even more new ones joining the club!

From our Fledglings starting their journey to our Colts pushing for the senior sides, we’re building more than just rugby players - we’re building lifelong memories and friendships.

Every Sunday, we offer Mini & Junior rugby for all ages! Non-contact until U9s.
Boys and girls play together until U12s when they embark on their separate pathways.

Come for the rugby, stay for the The Hatch: Open for that essential post-match bacon roll! 🥓☕

New to the club? Drop us a DM and we’ll send you all the details you need, including the right contact for your age group.

🌹 TWENTY-FIVE YEARS ON - REMEMBERING BEN WALKER 🌹

Today, 25 years on, we pause to remember fellow Buzzard, Ben Walker, and all those who tragically lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001.

Ben played for Leighton Buzzard Rugby Club and captained our 3rd XV before moving to New York in 1995. There, he worked as an insurance broker for Marsh & McLennan on the 91st floor of the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

Twenty-five years may have passed, but Ben remains part of the history and fabric of our club.

His memory lives on through the Ben Walker Memorial Plate, traditionally awarded each year at our Senior Awards Presentation, and through the many friends and former teammates at Leighton Buzzard who continue to remember him.

Ben's wife Laura and their three children live in the United States, and his son Henry went on to play rugby while studying at Villanova University in Philadelphia.

For anyone visiting the 9/11 Memorial in New York, Ben's name is inscribed on Panel N-16 of the North Memorial Pool.

In 2019, our Life President Mark Hardy and his wife Mary visited Ground Zero and paid their respects to Ben on behalf of everyone at the club.

Ben remains fondly remembered by his friends at Leighton Buzzard Rugby Club.
