The 1st XV will be back on home soil on Saturday 26th September as Newark welcome Syston II to Kelham Road for the first competitive fixture of the 2026/27 season

Unfinished Business -The Promotion Push Starts Here

Last season ended in relegation, despite a storming second half that showed exactly what this squad is capable of. That form hasn’t gone away over the summer — and there’s a real hunger in the camp to put things right. Promotion is the goal this season, and it starts now.
Early signs in preseason point the right way: fast, open rugby, real intent in attack, and a larger squad determined to make a statement from the first whistle. Syston will be no pushover, but expect a team playing with real purpose out there.

The Pitches Have Never Looked Better

A huge amount of work has gone into preparing the ground over the summer, and it shows — our playing surfaces are in some of the best condition we’ve seen in years, a real credit to everyone who’s put the hours in behind the scenes.
