We had a highly successful 10/11 season we gaining promotion, winning various sevens tournaments, winning the Varsity cup over Bradford and becoming European Champions at the SportsVest Tour in Spain. The team also beat the University Rugby League team at Rugby League! The team won 'Sports Team of the Year' at the Student's Union Awards for team of the year and had 3 players up for sportsman of the year, which was won by Michael Aitchison (Ex-President of Rugby Union).
In the again successful 11/12 season we narrowly lost out of promotion coming in 2nd place. We also won the annual Varsity Cup over Bradford, which took place at the famous Odsal Stadium; home of the Bradford Bulls. We polished of the season by becoming the Huddersfield University Cross Codes Champions over the rugby league side.
We train and play at Lockwood park, not far from university. This ground is home of Huddersfield Rugby Union who are in National two division.
-We train on Monday nights at 7pm. We meet at the student union bar at 6.15 pm and travel down together.
- We play every Wednesday and meet depending on home or away games.
We are looking to have another highly successful season starting in September 2012. If you are starting the university this year please do come training and meet a whole load of new people.
